Radio started to open and close by itself..Help please Ok, finally deciding to get some help and find out what the H E double hockey sticks. Is wrong with my car. Actually this problem started a while back. And I realize I'd like to hear music while I drive my car this summer.
lmao First sign of problems was when I would remote start my car. Get in while it was still remote started put the key in ignition to drive off(was told my alarm/remote starter had that feature. Turn on dash lights(nighttime) then instant blackout of lights on the dash only. Check the fuse for the dash light, burnt. Now I keep extra fuses or don't remote start vehicle. Then I can use the dash lights with out burning the fuse. Ever since then the remote start doesn't work any more. 2nd sign of problems, one day I was driving and my pioneer with the tilted flip face started to open and close buy it self. I would be able to listen to the radio but couldn't play a cd. Because if I pressed the button to get access to the cd drive it would keep opening and close again. So I just kept it closed. Since then radio just stopped working.
Ok, 2 things I liked on my car are down and out for the count. Last signs of problems. My battery pretty much drains in a day maybe day and a half. Oh and it's the 2nd red top Optima I've gone through.
Thanks for listening to my plea/rant. Any response or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Yea, somebody royally fucked your alarm install. The reason the remote start doesn't work is probably cause you popped on of the fuses. They usually have 3 fuses in the remote start harness to keep from frying the alarm.

Thanks fellas. What if I were to say that I also have 3 autometer guages, msd window switch, bottle heater, bottle opener,and purge switches. Which were all installed after the alarm/remote start. Would that also contirbute to this dilema?
