factory alarm

[sumo]

Ungh, my truck has caught Serges bug from his truck. My alarm fires off randomly, anytime no rhyme or reason. Happened after 6 months of installing the tilt sensor and shock sensor. Dosent seem to go off if i disable The sensor before exiting the truck. Im stuck if i should fix, or move on to a system that i really want, compustar Drone, where my phone is the remote.

I just stopped bothering with it ... I turn it off every time I turn off the truck. That's when the message bothers to show up on the DIC ... half the time I got to flip the ignition off and on 2/3 times for it to show up. This one is a live and learn fail ... in a couple of days I'm getting it disconnected and having them re-flash the computer.

it has to be one of the 2 componets. I replaced the hood switch, nada, im not going to replaced them all. I may just cough up the diag fee, but im also dont want to take it in to find out there "nothing Found". Although it may be a good time to have them start a oil consumption log.

I'm getting the shock sensor installed tomorrow...sad face

I'm not gonna lie...had mine a month or two and it does the same thing...I was thinking it was sensitivity, but no matter if I turn it counterclockwise or clockwise it still goes off randomly. It's frustrating, I'm debating upgrading alarms as well

only thing to do is try to unplug one and see if it happens.

Hey Chris, ask them about if there is any warranty on the sensor

Is it mounted to a hard surface?

So should I call this morning and tell them not to install it???

Well I just did...more research is needed before I drop ~$250 on an install.

mounted on the recommend places. tilt sensor on the drivers heat duct and shock mounted on knee bolster
