hi. i am having a problem with my alarm. when i press lock/unlock, my parking lights do not flash, but are otherwise fine. they come on like normal when i turn turn the light switch on, its just that they dont flash with my alarm anymore. i have had this problem for about a year now and just never got around to fixing it. i have a crimestopper alarm system with remote start. i cannot remember the model number. i have already checked all of the fuses under the drivers dash and under the hood. any help will be greatly appreciated!

The alarm usually has a parklight fuse close to it's brain.Check to see if it's blown.If not, check the parklight wire connection from alarm to vechicle.

If you are using a DEI alarm make sure you have the right jumper setting.

check to see if the installer used those nasty scotch lock t taps... they are notorious for intermittent or poor connections meter the wire at the brain and if you have voltage there then test the actual connection on the parking light wire.... it's gotta be one or the other ------------- Kevin Gerry

Do as kgerry says and if there's no current on the WHITE wire, then you have a faulty parking light relay in the CPU ------------- Jeff

I never heard of reprogram option for any alarm i dealt with, but there out there i never heard of.

lets start with the simple ideas....meter the wire that you have the parking light wire hooked up to. make sure its the right wire. then with the switch on, meter the wire after the connection to see if you have power at that point. then meter the wire right before it goes into the brain and see if you have power there. if you do, then i would say that its internal.... ------------- Good Luck

i think its internal. i dont get a signal from the wire. and it is secured onto the parking lights. parking lights work, i guess i have get a new alarm since there no way to fix this.
