M80 Strange Issue

[Randon_I_Am]

I was driving home the other day and the siren started going off while driving... thought thats a bit odd. but it turned off and didn't come back.

Now everything seems to be working appart from when i switch the car off the blue LED doesn't flash instantly. ie, it doesn't go straight into it's 30 second auto arm cycle.

It seems to take it about 1-2min THEN the LED starts flashing and starts its 30sec auto arm thing...

During this 1-2min i can lock the doors and arm it by pressing and holding (for 3 sec at least) the lock button on the remote. but still after 1-2min plus 30secs it beeps again like it's just auto armed...

really odd. Has anyone had one do this before?

sounds like an install issue to me.

sounds like it is going into "turbo timer mode" when you turn the key off. This is normal if you had the turbo timer feature wired and programmed in at the time of installation. If the engine is not still running when you turn the key off then it means the alarm wasn't wired for the turbo timer feature. Try to open your door before turning the engine off and see if it goes straight into the auto arming cycle, this will also confirm that the turbo timer feature is active.

sounds like its fubar

It's been working perfectly for a year at least... so i don't think it's the install

good point about the turbo timer mode. I've never used it as one time i did try to use it and it just didn't keep the engine going when i tried to use it. so i stopped and gave up on it, figuring it wasn't wired for it or whatever. I'll try the door thing, but I'm sure the other day i did open the door before i turned it off and it didn't change.

I'm leaning on it just being farked too

Try to deselect the turbo timer mode, through the programming instructions to see if it goes back to normal

[Randon_I_Am]

you guys are right about the turbo timer mode.

I tried the open door before turning it off and it worked as per normal

Cheers!!!
