I am a technical guy so finally I said screw this and started poking around myself.
I had the same 30 minute problem on the doors at one time and I remember they used diode isolation to fix it so I took a look. What they did is ....
There is a yellow/black factory wire coming out of a harness.....they cut the factory wire in half and put a diode in there.....then connected that to another diode in such a way that the diode cathodes are facing each other....then off of that is the connection to the door alarm input.
My question is, I am pretty upset that factory wiring was cut in half here. Was there a better way that could have been done? Is there a way I can put the diodes in for the trunk without cutting the trunk factory wire in half as well ? |
Same problem when I had A Python installed. Alarm self check triggering alarm every 30 min. Car Toys had it back 4 times, replaced entire system, then I had them remove it. Went to Magnolia HiFi and had them install a Clifford (same alarm, different name) Same problem. Multiple trips to Magnolia, no fix. Not a Diode problem (as with doors). Also noticed intermittently trunk light not working. I doubt there is anything the installer can do. Disconnected trunk. Need a pin in trunk not attached to light (don't let them tell you you can't pin trunk). Same alarm on truck using pin, works fine. If you ever find Fix, Please post!!!
***Side note, when having a multi-zone installed, make sure they put the shock sensor and the proximity sensor on different zones, lazy bast**ds put both on zone 2, nothing on zone 4, so dialing in sensitivity settings and troubleshooting false alarms is a pain in the butt.
