Have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler & new Autopage - my problem is that the shock sensor won't work (the door alarms work fine). Bought a proximety sensor (thinking that the shock sensor was bad), but the prox won't work either.
When I try to install one of these sensors, this is the procedure that I use: I plug one of the sensors into one of the two available ports, move at least 15ft from the vehicle, wait for the vehicle to settle, set the alarm, wait a couple of minutes, then try to make the sensors trigger. Re-adjust the sensors, repeat. Nothing.
I know there is a possibility that the port is bad from the factory, but the chance is small. Is there a programming procedure or maybe a wiring mistake on the 20-pin MOLEX that could be causing my frustrations? Thanks.
OK, nobody responded, but I understand why. I found my problem - the resistor to the accessory ports had no continuity. I replaced the resistor, and now my shock sensor works wonderfully . . . but now I have a new problem . . .
. . . my radar sensor still doesn't trip the alarm. When the alarm is set, the red LED stays constant, and the green comes on when motion is detected, but I guess no signal is sent. From what I've read on the internet, this type of sensor is pretty much universal. Can anyone give me a little insight on this one? Thanks ahead of time.
PS Would a radar sensor give the same waveform signature on an oscilloscope as a shock sensor?
