hey guys

tonight my siren for my alarm system was playing up.

it was freely going off on armed and disarmed could start car put in gear everything and the siren still went of.

seemed to be a loose conection in the siren as when it was touched it would temorarily turn itself off.

however it did get quiet warm and then i smelt something smoking...

i looked inside my car and smoke was coming out of the dash went inside my car and there was smoke and a small flame behind the ignition barrel.

was put out fairly quikly it is dark so cant have a full investigation in there but i have removed the lower plastic pannels and ignition dash panels.

now ill need an auto electritian to look at it and make sure nothing is effected before i reconect the battery and start the car again. does anyone have any ideas on who could come out to my place and look at this issue for me.

Thanks in advance.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
