Re: security system--kiss it off? Posted by Joe [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: security system--kiss it off?, MARK G ![]() |
I just repaired my alarm module and would do it again. Having said that, Roger's solution is the really the best. The only issue I know of with have it reprogrammed is finding someone who knows how to do it and will do it for a reasonable price. My local dealer is the sort that gives dealers a bad name, plus I'd attempt pretty much any repair, successfully or not, for the challenge.
If you want to try to replace the batteries there are two tips: Get the CR123A batteries from Batteries Plus and have them weld on the solder tabs. Do not use the CR17335SE, it is a completely different battery from the CR17335 in our modules. It looks the same, it's not, it won't work (check the datasheets, totally different electrically). Second, probably more importantly, replace the three capacitors. There is evolving evidence from many owners that the problem with these modules is not the batteries but the capacitors. Wikipedia has a article on the capacitor plague.
