A quick description of "My" circumstances.
My wife and I live Off-Grid n remote Alaska, USA.
Winter and breakup (thaw in spring, bottomless mud and sink holes) we Must travel by chained 6x6 Polaris ATV
3 miles to a Borough rd. where our disco is parked at a friends home. they are not always home and we have to be confident that our disco will run as per normal, hard travel in sub zero temperatures.
Recently we have had alarm issues, and after reviewing many threads we have had success turning it off or resetting. We purchased it used and it came with no remote. It also had the ignition switch replaced (appears to be a used one). We had not ever armed the alarm or locked the doors (ice freeze up) and it just randomly started arming and immobilizing the vehicle, But as stated We have learned how to reset it (we think).
Our current problem was on a drive on paved streets, turning left into a parking lot, we head a sound like a door locking or un-locking and our emergency flashers activated. We can only turn them off by disconnecting the battery. They continue when reconnected even with the flasher relay removed, interior fuse, under the hood fuse and all four relays below alarm ecu removed at the same time. We have no lit alarm led to indicate arming of, or system activation.
Wife said kill the damn alarm and fix the problem or sell it, she is shopping for used Chev Suburban or Ford Excursion now.
I do not want to sell it, yet, it is the ONLY 4x4 that Can make it all the way to our home when the snow is 2 1/2' deep (gets 5 feet) chained x4 like driving a tank.
Is it an alarm issue or something else? Can be fixed or order parts?
Any help would be great, Rover dealer in Anchorage, 240 miles each way and they claim impossible and never heard of, including alarm malfunctions.
Thanks for Your time,
Makala & Ann
