Have you tried disconnecting it? | I cut the wires to the siren and removed that but I have no idea how to remove the entire alarm system. I would really like to just to take out another variable. It would be free and hopefully solve the problem. Where are common areas for head units to be located and what do they look like? |  |  | | 09-30-2008, 07:13 PM | #17 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: MA Posts: 76 |
I looked under the car and the passenger ground seemed fine. I really think that maybe the POS aftermarket alarm is tricking a computer or something and cutting the power delivery. The only new development is that every once in a while I will again hear a single click.
No one has any other ideas? | | | | | 09-30-2008, 09:43 PM | #18 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 |

http://www.318ti.org/forum/member.php?u=4775 Danny is out your way, maybe he could give you a hand. I am in the Springfield area. I would be happy to give you a hand but I will not have free time this week. I am flying Friday and will be gone a week. Have you asked on BFc. in the New England area, There are many guys that will give someone the shirt off their back if it warrants it. | | | | | 11-01-2008, 10:34 PM | #21 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: MA Posts: 76 |
Finally got around to poking around a little bit more. I removed the ground cable from the negative battery connection and the one on the passenger side rail. Hidden from sight each cable was cut up and the wires were completely corroded. A few of the connections were slightly corroded as well and I filed them back to the metal.
Put some new ground cables in and now it fires right up. | | | | | 11-02-2008, 02:41 AM | #22 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |

Haha, thanks.
It was great to drive the ti again after all these weeks. I forgot what a blast it is. It has inspired me to do some more maintenence and maybe a few mods in the near future.
Hopefully I will do an oil change tomorrow and possibly try painting my base bumpers and sideskirts next weekend? | | | | | 11-02-2008, 04:44 PM | #24 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
