I have a GReddy Full Auto Timer, that was working perfectly up until a few days ago. I notice it activates my alarm upon starting and won't allow me to start my engine. The first time it happened I messed around w/ the timer and it luckily started up, this last time I haven't had such luck. Has this happened to anyone, if so please share the remedy!

 

must be trying to draw power with the car off, using the same circuit as the interior dome lights?

 

I'm not sure, but I don't think it's connected to the dome light

 

power drain on the dome light acctivates the alarm....maybe a drain accross the ignition line without the alarm being deactivated?...can you route the power and ground wires differently.

 

Is there a way to reset this if it happens??? I just know it's hooked up the way the directions tell you, so you mean hook it up to a different power source?

 

yes, i strongly feel that your timer is drawing current from a wire or fuse that the alarm monitors,

 

I know you already have a timer and alarm, but the current crop of alarms have turbo timers built in. i have the viper model. i hit the aux and panic button while the engine is running and take the keys out. it will arm and idle for a preset time (mines is set for two minutes) and then shut down. the alarm stays armed and i don't have to stand by my car to wait for it to shut down.

 

Right I've seen those alarms, but my current problem right now is my car won't start so trying to solve this problem first. I don't really have to sit by my car for it to cool down, I just hit lock and go. Although it's not setting the alarm at least the doors are locked.

 

How is it preventing you from starting the car? What happens when you turn the key? Does the starter crank? Does the alarm actually go off, or does the car just not start. Why are you so sure its your turbo timer? Give some more information and maybe we can figure something out.

 

When I start the car it keeps turning but doesn't start at that time I notice the alarm LED turn on solid. A friends G there's no LED on at the time of starting up. I'm not positive it's the timer but a few days before I had this problem and turned on and off the timer but the car started. I have the GReddy automatic turbo timer on the G35 but using the OEM factory alarm. I know it's not the best solution but have plans on upgrading later

 

Problem was the HKS FCon harness was defective, replaced and back on the road.
