Guys I just installaed a Black Widow 3900 alarm last night. The alarm is supposed to lock the doors once the ignition is turned on. However, it only does it sometime. I make sure all the doors are closed before I turn on the ignition and it only locks the doors 1 out of maybe 4-5 tries. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks

Does your keyless entry work fine ? How did you make your connections ? Solder/tape or connectors?

You did program it for that?

Yes I programmed the unit for it. I believe that the ignition lock feature is on by default, but i re-programmed the feature again anyway. The keyless entry works fine and the lock unlock when the ignition is turned off. They just won't lock everytime when the ignition is turned on. I've even tried the 1sec. lock, 3 sec. lock and 1sec. lock x 2 features and those didn't help either.

Do you know if you got the correct ignition wire? If you did not make the correct connection to the ignition wire that might be your problem. Reading from your post it sounds like that to be the case. Your ignition wire from the alarm unit should be connected to either of the wire below.

SECOND IGNITION|BLACK/ orange |+ |ignition harness |

Thanks, I'll check those wires to see. I've also noticed that the dome light supervision doesn't work, any ideas?

I checked the wiring and it's on the BLACK / YELLOW...I tried the BLACK/ white with the same results. However it seems that if I put the key to on and then off then on again and start the car, the doors lock. I guess if I can't figure it out I'll just live with it like that.

Also check to see if you have a good grounding point for the alarm unit. If you have a poor ground. It can also make the alarm unit behave irraticly. I would try and relocate to a different grounding point and see if there is any impovement.
