Hey guys, here is my problem..
My key alarm stopped working. One day when i pressed the lock button, the car did not lock n the alarm did not set. I figured it could be a problem with my key, so i pulled out my other key and it worked. Then i started the car, drove around. When i got out of the car and tried locking the car, it did not work. As i put the key in the key hole to lock the door, i felt some kind of leak in current which gave me a mild shok.. Can any of you help me with the problem.. Thanks, Preetham. |

sounds to me like a bad wire connection, did you do the install yourself or what?

best idea would just to take it to a shop. I'm not sure, but it seems like something has shorted and bi-passed the fuse causing a constant current feed. Be carefull, if that is true, there is a good chance of something called "thermal run away" and you could burn up a lot more than your alarm wireing.
