2003 stock alarm help
the stock alarm on my 2003 protege was one of the factors i put into purchasing but theres one problem
this thing drives me insane. it is way to sensitive, if someone as so much breathes on it wrong it beeps at them, 2 breaths will set the thing off it is a good thing to have, but i'm sick of having to turn it off when a truck with a broken muffler drives by is there a way to turn the sensitivity down just a notch? and if so, am I too lazy to look in my owners manual? |
I have the same problem, it is too sensitive. I have yet to turn it down, but here is how I think it is done.
You have to get under the dash, and staring right at you will be the shock sensor with a white zip-tie attached to a wiring harness. On the side of the shock sensor is a little knob that should adjust the sensitivity. There is a little red LED on the sensor, and it lights when it feels vibration, so you can tell if you are making it more sensitive or less sensitive. I will probably adjust this in a day or so since it is so easy, I just keep forgetting about it. I need to do this and also try and find a way to make it stop re-arming itself. My work is VERY loud and I have to constantly try and reset the alarm..... sometimes 15 times or better a night! I'd like to just be able to disable it while Im at work rather than turn the sensitivity too far down to make the alarm ineffective. Good luck. |
If you want to lock the doors and not arm the system, just use the lock switch on the driver's door and not the key fob.
