thanks for the reply ToysRMe.
yep. I think it's after market. there is an extra red led next to the 'security' led on the cluster trim. The 'security' led would blink after the system is activated. But this 'extra' led stays solid all the time.
anyway. more problem. just now, i went to move my car. I think i diabled the security system all together.
I used the remote to unlock. then (unintentionally) used the key turn the door lock once 'clockwise'. got in the car, insert key to starter, heard the usual chime.. then dead silent when turned to 'on' position.
Nothing happen as i turn the key. I thought that i activated the security, anti theft, engine cutoff, system. tried to use the remote, nothing happen. the 'door adjar' icon is on... but noticed that it gets dimmer. notice the clock was off. (thought of the power might be bad.. battery is low, etc.) disconnected and reconnect the negative battery terminal. The car seem to start, and run 'normal'
Now I lost the security system.
Any idea,any one?? a short circuit somewhere?? (because i dropped two screws into the cluster area, right above the starter. one came out but the other is still in there. would this cause the short and messed up the alarm??)
