Hello, I have a 97 Toyota Corolla which just had a Viper 790xv Remote Start Alarm system installed with window modules to have the window's go up and down. A couple of months after the alarm was installed I have been blowing the ECU-IGN (ECU-Ignition) fuse. This is a main 40amp under hood fusible link. When the fuse blows it the car is unable to start, the gauges, doorlock, windows, accesories, shift lock, stop working. None of the fuses in the drivers side kickpanel have blown out. The fuse seems to go out when I make a right hand turn. It doesn't happen everytime, so far in the last 2 months I have gone through about 4 fuses. I took it back to the installer and had them recheck all the wiring to make sure there was no bare wires exposed. They also disconnected the remote start module to see if that was the cause of the problem. That did not solve the problem. I was wondering if it could possible be a faulty brain for the alarm. I'm not sure where the taps are for the power for the brain, and if they go through this fuse, is this a possibilty? I'm assuming that the alarm is tapped into power between this fuse and the drivers side kickpanel fuse box. Any insight and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
-sounds like a pretty major problem. you should take it back to the installer and tell him to fix it. dont try to do it yourself, the installer might blame it on you; he should be reliable for this. i think its the poor installation job that caused in the first place.
-if you say that when you turn and it blow a fuse; the cause might be due to poor install. tell the guy to double check each wire, especially at the ignition harness where all them wires are close together. if some wires are not tape right at the ignition harness, i would guess the steerin column is draggin some wires.
