The headlights now shut off and on, off and on. The car is running ok, but the remote starter will no longer work. The installer was at ABC warehouse in Mount Pleasant Michigan and they talked me into buying a better remote starter b/c the cheapest one would not allow my doors to unlock while the starter was running? I paid 400 $ for this piece of junk. Any ideas one why my lights interior and exterior will turn on and off as they feel like it? Brake lights and turn signals too!
you seem to know the answer already ...new command start needed sorry .good luck
My best guess is it's from poor installation. Sounds like there's a short somewhere that's causing the light relay to shut off. The headlight relay cuts power when there's too much draw on the system, then when the relay cools down, the lights come back on. A continuous short will cause the light to go off and come back on on a steady basis, a temporary short will cause it only when there's a short, so it could do it at times, then stop for a while. This is generally caused by a positive wire to the headlights being grounded against metal somewhere. They likely either hooked up to a wrong wire, or pinched or pierced a wire when installing the system. Take it back to the installer and tell them what's going on, since it happened right after they installed the system, it's almost certainly their fault and their responsibility to fix it. Could be something with the system itself, too, but either way, it's their problem and they need to fix it.
