2002 lexus is200, avant guard 5.5

From the picture it looks like you've already blown/burnyt one of the tracks! Ah amateurs.

NO! actually i removed the track completely as its a safer bet than just cutting, i do take offence to the amateur statement however.

Of course you're an amateur, you mention the installer on your first post so you're either an amateur by definition or worse a DIY fiddler. If you're blowing fuses you've wired something wrong or you didn't TEST across those tracks with a DMM to see if you shorted across by mistake, an amateur thing to do.

Terrible twins, this guy hijacks the thread, describes in detail the install, then tries to upgrade or change it himself, I would define that as cheapskate amateur.i.e. taking the food away from the original installer.

Yes that's right I had an installer install the alarm as it's a Clifford and general users are not meant to install otherwise I would have done it my self yes I did check the tracks I removed with a DMM as it happens the standard door locks did function once connected up the way u mentioned but the Clifford unit was the one blowing fuses you don't know what background I come from so you are assuming I know nothing due to asking for help which is the wrong assumption. I may not be a credited alarm installer but does not mean I'm not qualified in electronics. So cutting tracks isn't hard is it you state just cutting the track I say remove. I could go into what my background is but would make no difference to you as you have already decided I'm thick. I still have my doubts though the way you mentioned will allow my doors to have the double locking back they had before. I will post up details of the double locking from my files. You may require this in future

Howard, the installer installed the alarm to what he believed was correct only after this did I realise I had no second lock a security feature of the car I was informed that the company would not muller the processor as you call it as it is then tampering with factory components not adding an aftermarket solution. As for being a cheapskate yet again this is another assuption totally unfounded. For example at no point have you offered to do this at a price if you had I would have accepted but instead your happy to slate me on open forum for no real benefit. I came here asking for advice on a Clifford alarm. Which you gave, I did speak to the installer direct who was not happy to come back and change the locking system. Thus he turned down the work so hardly stealing the food from his table etc. As for hijacking a thread if one of the admins/moderators would be so kind as to move this posts they feel are hijacking to a thread labeled IS200 door locks it would be great. For the record howard I work as an installer but in a different idustry doing stuff you probably wouldn't understand I say probably as I do not know your background I'm very good at what I do, prior to this job role I spent 10years diagnosing electric faults on cars. I have also gained electronics and electrical qualifications. So I say once again I am offended by the amature statement as you do not know me.

I'll give you an example of where you are an amateur your last post was the first time you mentioned double locking. Are we talking about progressive unlock or deadlocking? Also the points you made in your last post weren't made apparent originally. Starting a new thread and giving us the whole story would have made me more sympathetic.
