lampman Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 on my lexus sc400 the battery started to die every time the alarms turns on. I thing the alarm is killing the battery. Does any one know how to disconect the alarm or what the problem might be. I am asuming that the alarm is causing short circuit somewhere .

You should indicate the year of your SC in your profile. You've also posted this thread in the LS section. What condition is your batt in? Check the circuit for a parasitic drain. You could also disable the sensing switch for remote entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
