QuestionMy hazard lights have a mind of their own. They come on whenever I brake or turn on something electrical. After some searching under the dash the ticking which should be coming from the flasher can is actually coming from the aftermarket alarm. It is a black widow which they have conveniently left the model number off. Will disconecting the inline fuses render the ignition useless or just the alarm?
AnswerThis is what I think is going
on....
The alarm seems to be in long tamper mode.
You will need to reset it. the Black Widow
(www.blackwidowsecurity.com)
seems to be doing it's job.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.
Removing fuses will NOT be a good idea!
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)
This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.
At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.
Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.
That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.
If it does not work out this way,
you will have to replace the system
with one you know how to operate
and what to expect.
Let me know what happens.
