Problematic Alarm system causing the weak AMP output |
|
|
Sometimes my rears speakers output from Amplifier is weaker than
normal. I couldn't figure out this problem. I just find out today
I have trouble on Code Alarm system. The trouble is the malfuncational
electrical problem on alarm causes drawing less
power to amplifeir. Only solution is to uninstall alarm system.
I don't know if I can do this job by myself. Do I take this job
the alarm technican?

How did you determine that the alarm was causing the problem with the
amplifier? If the amplifier is properly connected to ground and
power, then there's not much that could go wrong with the alarm that
would affect the amp. If the alarm is drawing so much current that
the battery voltage available to the amp is dropping, then the alarm
wires would have burned up long ago - the wiring in an alarm is
simply not capable of drawing enough current to drag down the rest of
the electrical system.

Partly you are right on that. The part of Alarm electrical system is
burned up.
I smelled the burning thing around dashboard. I find out it's
Electronic theft prevention
key out burned part of it, and the +12 positive wire going to amp is
burnt out. So I decided it has to be alarm. I don't use thing like
Monster Cable in Amp directly
connected to the battery. So I decided the alarm is causing the problem
of drawing
less current to amp. Not only that my alarm sometimes causing starter
problem.
I can't pay over 100 dollars just for the uninstallation of alarm. |

Is this something from the factory?

Of course not. But someone isn't using the right fuses either, it
seems, unless the wire before the fuse got caught on a sharp metal
edge.
Smaller fuses should have been used, so that they blew before the
insulation melted.
Still, there is some added reason why two different wires would melt
the insulation. (If the wire were "burned out", there would be no
need to disconnect it.)

I don't know what that means, but I don't think so. If you think
some accessory is drawing too much current, try blowing the horn at
the same time. If the horn sounds ok, then nothing is drawing enough
current to lower the voltage, even if the insulation is burning
somewhere. If the voltage is adequate, then the radio will draw
whatever current it needs, unless there is a problem with the radio or
its wires. But the alarm wouldn't cause the radio not to work.

I don't think that is likely either, short of running down the
battery. Is that what you mea?. (My alarm was drawing too much
current and running down the battery if I didn't drive every day.
When I disconnected the battery over Thanksgiving weekend, the battery
started the car fine when I got back. 4 days. 7 years later that I
realized that I basically had two alarms installed, since the pager
could have functioned as an alarm and drew current all the time.
Still, a new battery would have hidden that problem. Mine was
probably 5 years old.)

You don't have to uninstall it. Just take the fuse out. It's likely
in a red wire that goes to the alarm control box, which is likely
under the dash on the left side.
If it is all taped up you may have to take off some or all of the tape
to find the fuse holder.
You can take off some of the lower dash on the left to get better
access to everything. You probably have to lie on your back under the
dash with your feet on the ground or even leaning against the driver's
seat.
