very! Weird electrical problem

[crunkopotamus]

my 90 ex 4dr has some electrical problems, but the worst is that when i turn on my lights they stay on even when i turn them off, the tailights corner lights and dash lights, the headlights turn off, and the only way i can get them to shut off is by hitting the hazard light switch? somehow it makes them go off, and i only have this problem when my icu is plugged in, when its unplugged everything is fine... but then i cant roll down my windows rear defrost etc... it all started when i had an alarm installed a viper, everything worked before, and they left the icu unpluged on purpose and they bs'd about how my windows didnt work. i shoulda installed it myself. it also has other unrelated problems like the door courtesy lights dont work, and auto seatbelts dont work, but its still a sweet ride and i love it!:

I would be b**ching out whoever did your alarm it sounds like you have a direct short between two wires which could end up being a fire hazzard. Check the harnesses and looms for anything weird like three wires together or loose wires. Or just take it back to the installer and yell that usually does the trick.

If you know how to install it, uninstall it and redo it yourself.

I never woyld have let anything like thar go out when I was installing. However, if you came in yelling you would have been in for a rude awakening. You'll get a shit response if that's how you appeoach an issue like that.

But if they bs'd me they aren't gunna be let off the hook he pages good money for it they need to do it right and not beat around the bush. I wouldn't scream but I would b**ch.

Edit; anyways, dude needs a solution and this is way off topic.

yeah it was like 100 bucks, i did actually take it back and they just denied not doing it right, my mistake was not showing them everything worked before hand, but ya live and learn, but dont you guys think its a little weird that its only when the icu box is plugged in??? the little black box above the fuse box, but yes im sure i can figur out how to install the alarm, im pretty good with car audio so ill figure it out, plus all the wiring and color codes are on this site

in retail when a customer come in yelling and cursing they just say sry we did our job n they will blame it on you some how.

i agree with the install it your self attitude,

if they left the icu unplugged during the install i believe that would be something to look at as its like they went around it instead of dealing with it.

why did they leave it unplugged tho?

Harrass them long enough - over the phone, face to face, in front of customers preferably - and you'd get your money back eventually.
