Alarm arms itself... while driving???????

[30ATE]

G'day guys, i've a VK calais and i tried to protect my car by installing a mongoose alarm 60s... its acting up, while driving the alarm will arm its self?????!!!!!!!!!! and its draining my battery, the battery is brand new and i've had it checked. Does anyone have any clue whats going on? or does anyone know if i could buy a VR genuine alarm and put that in it? I've heard that genuine don't drain your battery :S the guy could be pulling my leg but, if you don't ask... you don't know.

Cheers

you've obviously installed it wrong, and what do you mean it will arm itself?

Have you got the 'Ignition Input' connected? Needs +12v when the engine is on.... No Volts when the engine is off.

Recheck ALL the wiring. The unit should not drain the battery, not overnight anyway.

after i did some checking of the wires. One of the wires, the 12v had broken and it was connecting from the vibration of the car. Hence probably why the alarm armed itself while driving the lights would sound and the lights would flash. But shes all good now. Cheers guys.
