Left my line-lock on for a week - will it hurt anything? Was messing around last weekend and left my line-lock in the on position for over a week - will it hurt anything?

Are you talking about just the arming switch? Or was the actual line locked up for a week? If you're just talking about the arming switch, I don't think it'll hurt anything... just make sure that it still is working (not burnt out) and if it is, you should be fine.

I would change both the solenoid and the relay. This is nothing to screw with. A line lock that the solenoid has gotten hot from being left armed for long periods could prove to be very unpredictable--same with the plug-in relay. They are inexpensive, IMO change them to be safe. WJ

if the car was off why would it still have power? Once I turn off my car the power is cut off to the line lock.
I would at least change the relay if it had power for the whole week.
