Babytruck's at the dealership!!!!

Earlier today the alarm/remote lock was working just fine. An hour and a half ago I went to move it into the driveway and I couldn't lock the door or turn on the alarm!! I opened the door and tried to use the lock button from inside and I couldn't do it from either door. Tried the spare set and nothing.

Figured it was the fuse...

Took it in, they changed the fuse but the new one blew. They changed it again and it keeps blowing fuses!!

They have to call someone in to find out what's wrong....

So now I'm in some kind of Mazda something or other van type thing.


What do you suppose is causing this??

 

Short in the wiring somewhere.

 

What do you think would cause a short? I parked the car in the street, set the alarm. I went out to move it into the driveway - unlocked the car with remote, put it in the driveway and tried to lock it with the remote. Didn't work. Why would it suddenly not work? Not wet outside or anything. I didn't touch anything or even turn on the radio.

 

Lose wire, wire with no insulation (rubbed off), a faulty circuit board, it could be anything.

 

Ground

 

Wow. Truck is two months old....

 

is it an aftermarket alarm?

 

Toyota had it installed. It was installed before I took delivery of the vehicle. So yes? But I'm guessing they are going to take care of it, warranty wise?

 

Don't worry about the truck; you're driving a Mazda! EEEEEWWW!

 

Same thing happened with my last car.... ended up being a wire with a nick in it from the install.

 

Hell yeah they better take care of it, I'd be riding them like a cheap who....um call girl..., anyways, yeah it's their problem, sounds like a dead short to me, that's the only thing i can think of that will blow fuses that fast

 

OMG I know. And I gotta be seen in that thing. It's a mini van!!!!!!! *stabs eyes out with fork*

Well I hope they find it without tearing up my truck too much.

 

Those Jokers are gonna have to check every wire on the circuit that's blowing the fuse, it's detailed pain in the ass work. Make sure to stay on their asses for that one, my guess is that a resistor blew out somewhere or somebody screwed up the alarm install.

 

Thankyewwww mr. sunshiny happy day.

I'm dyin' here....

I'll have to wear a mask when I drive that thing.

 

My god that thing is UGLY, that thing is for soccer moms, you don't strike me as a soccer mom!


Ok I'm sorry, not tryin to bring ya down, I'm sure they will figure it out, it's their warrantee they have to honor it. It's probably nothing major


Sorry bout that mini van though...........ok I'm only giggling I swear!

 

Oh Geez, I'm sorry. Is there ANYTHING nice about it? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2250642/jet_powered_van/

 

we need videos of you driving it like you stole it.

 

Hey Babytrucks, I'll come out and give you a ride to work so at least you can ride in a real truck!!!!!!

Just kidding!

How 'bout this, I could steal that hunk o junk for ya and make them come get you in the morning.....then again, I wouldn't even want to be caught stealing that thing.....i jest, i don't steal things.....hell you couldn't pay me to drive that thing.....i wouldn't even park that in front of my house!!!

 

You guys are messed up.

I have no idea how long I'm going to have it...I just really hope they can find the problem without having to tear up all the wiring.

They had a Chevy truck at the rental place. I asked for that with the reasoning that "I turned in a truck, I'd like a truck". But they said that would be out of pocket for me to have that. So I said "Okay, I get what I get". So what did I get?
