key n alarm - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #8140 6 posts Started by kingpreetham
Hey guys, here is my problem..
My key alarm stopped working. One day when i pressed the lock button, the car did not lock n the alarm did not set. I figured it could be a problem with my key, so i pulled out my other key and it worked. Then i started the car, drove around. When i got out of the car and tried locking the car, it did not work. As i put the key in the key hole to lock the door, i felt some kind of leak in current which gave me a mild shok..
Can any of you help me with the problem..
Thanks,
Preetham.
did you check the battery?

the current is probably just a static electricity shock, i get them all the time.

i am awesome
sounds to me like a bad wire connection, did you do the install yourself or what?
no, its the stock install..was working perfectly for all these years..
best idea would just to take it to a shop. I'm not sure, but it seems like something has shorted and bi-passed the fuse causing a constant current feed. Be carefull, if that is true, there is a good chance of something called "thermal run away" and you could burn up a lot more than your alarm wireing.
Any idea on how can i get the stock alarm dis-armed...
My key switch does not seem to work...
