Alarm Issues?

[JonesyGTR]

G'Day guys!

I recently had an Mongoose M80 series alarm fitted to my 32GTR.(supplied by Chris Rogers) All had seemed well up until the other nite. Sometimes the passenger door is not locking (which is a seperate issue) so as I walk away from the car I normally try to open the door just to ensure it has locked. The other nite when I did this the car was still running on the turbo timer. The passengger door had not locked. I had already armed the alarm. When i opened the door, the alarm DID NOT trigger.

Is this supposed to be the case? Bcoz I am sure that when I was at the alarm place even when the car was on the turbo timer the alarm triggered if the perimeter was breached.

This morning I did the same thing, but now the turbo timer had switched off. When I opened the door the alarm sounded! Which is what i would expect.

I had the alarm installed by an alarm/audio place in Melbourne that was recommended to me by Chris.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dan

Sounds like the door locking solenoid motor is playing up. Pull off the door trim and see if the motor is engaging all the time when you arm the car.

If not, or it does it intermittently, it takes about 5 minutes to replace it with a new one. Had similar issues in my car and once I replaced it no problems.

Would this also be the likely cause of my alarm not triggering when the door is opened? I was aware that the door locking mechanism is playing up, but I want to also get to the bottom of the issue that was causing the alarm not to trigger when it was armed.

My alarm was doing very strange things when the motor was stuffed. Random flashes, beeps, etc. Once the motor was replaced, alarm went back to normal.

Replacing the central lock motor/solenoid will cure the door issue. However, you may want to check that is just isn't a loose connection or fouling of the mechanism.

Also I was under the impression that although you have "locked & alarmed" the car, there is a delay which stops the immoboliser and siren function until the turbo timer has completed the count down. If the alarm siren was to arm the moment you locked the doors then technically the alarm would sound because your motor is still running and the sensors would be triggered.

My M80 beeps as I lock it and then about 10 secs after the turbo timer has turned off which is the immoboliser and siren arming.

Hey, yea my m80 doesn't arm untill the turbo timer is finished its countdown. and as msnismo said, it waits about 10 seconds after the countdown has finished before it arms iself with the siren.

This is normal, or so im led to believe.

R32 GTR PWR: i have the exaact same problem that you stated, but it was both of my doors. i thought at first it had something to do with the locking mecahnism. so i sprayed wd40 on it, it started working again perfectly then started again. so every 2 weeks or so i jus do the same thing..

it was asif the lock only half locks and doesnt go all the way.

Thanks for the help guys, the only thing that I guess I am still unsure of is this:

On Saturday I was getting the alarm looked at where I got it installed (just putting in a door switch that was buggered). I mentioned this problem to the guy. So we put the car on the turbo timer, armed the alarm then opened the door. Bingo - alarm went off, engine cut etc etc.

Can anyone confirm what the operation should be (Chris Rogers, where are you? )

Cheers,

My M80 was supplied n fitted by Chris Rogers. How it works:

When I park, I remove the keys, turbo timer starts to countdown, motor still running..shut the door, press the arm button, it locks all doors while the TT is timing down...as soon as the car shuts down...after about 10secs...another chirp signifies the car is now armed. That, I believe is how it should work...

Send Chris a PM, he should be able to tell u wats wrong.

Mongoose = Problems

I'm listening.

when you are arming it are you HOLDING the button or just pressing it. if you press it the car will lock but not arm until the timer drops out. (try this.)

R33- bite me.

You must press and hold the remote if it is in turbo run on mode the siren should chirp all sectors should be armed except for movement sensors they arm 10 secs after engine switches off. If you just press it once then only the doors will lock and the the chirp you here 10sec later is the immobiliser kicking in not the alarm.
