Lazerlok alarm system helppp

[REM152]

Okay everyone I have a 1993 VR4 that has been nothing but good to me till today...

Here is the problem when I purchased the vehicle it came with an alarm system made by Lazerlok. The alarm was working fine till today. When I disarmed the alarm and opened the door the headlights popped up and the alarm started to go off I tried to disarm it by using the key fob and nothing happened. The weird thing is I could start my car with no problem and whats even weirder I could actually lock the doors and here it beep. Any help would appreciated in this matter. I tried searching for the company for customer support from the original manual that was given to me but to no avail I could not find anything. So if anyone has any experience with this make of alarm system (LAZERLOK) I would be forever grateful.

Is ditch it. If you can't find information on it or the company its worthless and will just cause issues.

Step one would be to disable the alarm by removing the fuse on the alarms power wire. You may have to drop the lower dash panel on the driver's side to do this.

Step two would be to go to a reputable car audio/security shop and have them uninstall the unit. If you want an aftermarket alarm you would just need to pick out a new one at said install shop and they will uninstall the old one when installing the new one for you.

I have never heard of one of these systems, however my experience with non-name brand alarm systems is that the unit will drop the transmitters and then require you re-learn the transmitter to the system. If you don't have a manual that explains how to do this you are pretty much dead in the water.

I'm guessing the car went Christine on him and locked him inside. Hes been surviving on his own urine and old Mc Donalds fries under his seats.

Man that would totally suck

Actually I survived on some beef jerkey and stale potato chips, fortunately I had a bottle of gatorade in the hatch lololol....

I got everything resolved with the alarm...

What was it, in case anyone else runs into that problem?

Ironically enough the key fob when it went off did not work so i had to use the key. I put it in the door and turned to unlock the damn thing went off lolol quite crazy if you ask me especially since the car would run with the damn thing going off, but now I know and if anyone has this problem the key fob wont work you'll have to actually use the key in the door.

That sounds like the factory security system, not an aftermarket unit. I have never heard of an aftermarket unit being tied to a factory alarm disarm wire, which is what you pulse when you put the key in the door and turn it to unlock.

I find it strange as well, but the thing is it does not look like a factory alarm system because there is actually a valet mode switch on the inside.

Yea the headlights popping up gave away that it was the factory alarm

[99 vr4]

Nice to join the conversation von

So let me get this straight the Lazerlokk system is actually a factory alarm system?

[xwire]

No it is an alarm on top of the factory alarm. And whoever installed it did not wire it to disable the factory alarm on disarm.

You or someone prob hit the lock button in the car when closing the door and then arm your aftermarket alarm.

If it would be wired correctly when your disarmed it it would turn off the factory alarm

Did the lazerlock siren go off when the car was freaking out, my guess is no.

The factory security system automatically arms when you lock the car, and this means locking the car by any means (door key cylinder, lock button, keyless fob, or aftermarket alarm fob). The aftermarket alarm should be wired to provide a negative trigger to the factory alarm disarm wire at the etacs unit when you disarm the lazerlock system.


If the lazerlock system has worked properly in the past and then quit properly working, I would suspect an issue with the factory alarm disarm wiring or an etacs problem. Either of those two will cause faulty factory alarm trips.
