all the happens is i think the power steering pump comes on contant and thats it.. ***RIP Car13 ****** Now in an Evo ***cantfindausername wrote:Still worth checking all the fuses in case something else has gone too.
Do any dash lights come on?
. the power steering comes on contantly. and it does not make any noise when you turn the key. Ie. no starter click.. . there is plenty of power in the battery... its just strange.. 
***RIP Car13 ****** Now in an Evo *** well paul (pnjmcc) came over last night and we got stuck into fixing the problem. We traced the wires for the alarm back to the point where the immobilzer is connected and removed the T in the wire reconnected it bypassing the alarm. This didn't work.. Lets face it when you got the lacky doing all the work you might as well take a breather and relax.. I decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to treble check the fuses again.. ?? fuse had blown. i was shocked really. So we replaced it.. I don't understand how this could be possible the whole middle of the fuse was blown out so i can't of missed it. . . when checking fuses make sure you are paying attention to what you are doing. They guy who wired my alarm in made a mess of it... It looks a complete mess. 
all is well that ends well. 
"thatcham approved installers" are a complete joke and all examples I've seen have had seriously shody workmanship. Yours seems to be joining the list of crap installs too.

Glad you sorted it now mate.
I'm very tempted to rip it all out and start again but then it won't be thatcham approved.. The alarm itself is naff anyway and seems to go off during the night for no reason. 
Unless it was checked and they say "nah, they'd never make it look that neat" 
***RIP Car13 ****** Now in an Evo ***cantfindausername wrote:What sort of alarm is it??
And I don't see why redoing it wouldn't make it still thatcham approved.
. I'd ideally like to replace it with a better one that don't keep going off. And they sense them as a voltage drop so sound the siren. Also they have crappy proximaty (sp) sensors. Oh the cliffords are crap ***RIP Car13 ****** Now in an Evo *** Its uber sensitive and suffers from temperature drops as well. As its a T-bar this doesn't help. It could be as the vehicle cools overnight from the heat that the alarm triggers. Am looking at trying to reduce the sensitivity of mine now.Tiamat wrote:Dave, got a SIGMA thing on mine.
I feel like taking the whole damn lot out..

when checking fuses make sure you take the fuse out to check it rather than just look at it from the top When you ask someone if they have checked the fuses, ignore what they say and go check yourself !

Oh right that make alot of sense it tends to go off more if it has rained.
Lemme know if you figure out how cus i'm fed up with it.
(Bonnet, boot etc) getting wet, all it usually takes is for me to smear some GP grease on the contacts and its cured
