Not sure if anyone has had a similar issue but my compustar is driving me insane right now.
I currently have a Compustar alarm/starter installed in my vehicle and am using a 1way remote. I changed the battery on the remote and the blue light goes off when i press the lockunlock button but still no response from the car.
The problem started a few months ago when my car wouldn't respond to my remote(i tried lock/unlock and also the passive/valet mode) so I used my key to unlock the door. The alarm went off and so I tried the remote again but still no response. So I tried to deactiate the alarm by using the key and turning it on/off 5+ times but it still wouldn't shut off. I ended up having to disconnect the battery and reconnect it after a bit so the compustar wasn't activated.
This worked for a bit, I was able to use my remote to lock/unlock only. Fastforward to yesterday. Since the weather was getting kind of cold I decided to try and activate my compustar again. I switch the ignition on/off 5 times then pressed the unlock button and the car responds and beeps. The car worked fine for the rest of the day until i tried to remote start it. The usual happened and the car started but then it shut off and the remote is back to not responding and I cannot deactivate the compustar with the on/off trick.
It's driving me insane as I can't unlock the door without the alarm going off and the car won't start. If anyone has had a similar issue or knows how to fix it let me know.
TL;DR
- Compustar remote wont respond
- car alarm goes off, car won't start, cannot deactivate compustar.
- cycling on/off 5 times doesn't work
- tapping the brakes 10 times doesn't work
-valet mode nor passive mode won't work since compustar wont respond to my remote.
- battery changed in remote(blue light goes off when pressing lock/unlock but no response still.)
Thanks!
