Hey first post here.

Basically, my alarm had a problem today. When i arm/disarm it, only the lights on the right side light up. the ones on the left do nothing. but they work fine when using the lights and indicators normally.

before, both indicators on my dash would flash up (like when you put your hazard lights on) but now only the right.

anyone have any ideas which wire could be the problem?

heres the instructions maybe they could help:

sounds like your alarm indicator wire has come loose from whereever it got connected when installed

common fault if you used scotch connectors as they always fail in time from past experience with them

thanks for replying really appreciate it!

ye i did use scotch connectors, so you reckon it could be where the alarm connects to the indicator wire on the left??

thanks in advance!

99.9 percent sure mate if it isnt that then its a fault on your alarm but i would bet my money on scotch connector at fault

just try removing it and twisting wires together and if it works when arming then i would consider changing all crimp connectors you have used for crimp connectors or something simular and insulate them electrical tape

good luck
