Cazza Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Does anyone else have one of those 5 star rated uniden alarms from repco in their car? Mine has worked fine for 3 years but now has suddenly started sucking my battery dry overnight! (even when just in standby mode ie. not armed) . Is this a common prob? Any suggestions as to why its doing this? ie. is there a component that usually wears out on the alarm etc? Any suggestions welcome...cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Same battery as was in it three years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazza Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 nope its a new battery. (and crikey they are getting expensive!) think ive found the prob. alarm has a little back up battery and charger which appears to be fucked. hence its been trying to draw power from my main battery like a mad thing. alarm ripped out now so no more prob. will probably just install whole new alarm cause i was never particulary impressed with performance of it anyway.
