How do I Set up a car alarm system?

I just bought a Lexus is300 yesterday. It came with two set of keys which holds alarm buttons. The problem is that none of it works. I can‘t unlock the door, pop the trunk, and etc. What should I do to get the keys to work? Thanks

Answer:

yes the suction line will sweat with a/c in cool if not insulated with armaflex, yes the white pipe carries away the condensate and will sweat at the bottom also if not insulated(use the thinner wall insul if you can get it) , yes commercial units have piping for condensate, yes the service guy would have brought gas to the condenser if he was checking pressures and thought it might be low and frozen up which makes the a/h drain improperly, yes you should follow the service guy around asking questions as he works to understand what he is doing and why.
have a big name auto store fix it for you. that way you know it will work when the time comes.
verify the fuses on the alarm. save on with each and all of the pink wires ideal to the techniques or relay harness. those are the wires that require 12v consistent. Use a try gentle to ascertain in case you have 12v.
Contact the place where you bought it. First you need to find out if the car came with an alarm. The keys may hold alarm buttons, but this does not neccessarily mean that there is an alarm. As for the door, trunk and other things, you should contact the place where you bought the car and have them resolve the problem. It may be somthing simple, like activating the mechanism, connecting a wire (which they should have done), replacing the batteries (or actually putting batteries in, if not already done). Or it may be an unusual way to use the remote or an unusual angle to hold the remote. If you don't have an alarm, it is worth having a good one installed. Some of the more modern car alarms are quite sophisticated so you should have a qualified instalation technician install it.
Yes, it is condensation and it is normal. What is not normal is what the repair man did for this specific situation [1], and the fact that a commercial A/C unit does not appear to have a system for removing this condensation runoff. Normally there's a tray under the coils that collects the water and feeds it to a pipe for drainage. [1] Of course running the heat would dry up the water, that's a no-brainer, and while it temporarily solved your problem, a repair man that does that and takes payment for it, is ripping you off.
