I have a 1996 CX hatch, and I just got a one way compustar alarm installed, and there are two problems I have noticed that I have to go back for them to troubleshoot and then fix.
The first is that my horn does not work.
The second is that when I am releasing the clutch with a bit to little gas, if the car starts to lug a bit, I hear a vibration that was not there before. I also hear it once when I start the car. I think it is one of the sirens hitting the airbox and/or the firewall as one is right in between the two.

Anyone know what could be causing either of these? Anyone had something similar? Anyone know if my theory about the siren might be correct?

Thanks.

 

Today I only heard the vibrating a couple times, maybe it has sorted itself out .

The horn still doesn't work.

 

Well evidently nobody cares about this, but if you do, then keep reading because this is hopefully the end of the story. But don't waste your time otherwise cause it is really boring.

I went to the shop and told the tech that my horn doesn't work, he said that he "wired everything correctly and there should be no problem." I said "there is a problem, my horn worked before I came here, now it doesnt." When he reluctantly looked under the dash, there was a plug that wasn't plugged in. It was the one for the horn (and maybe something else that I didn't realize wasn't working too). So the horn is working now.

Then for the noise, I told him to move the siren from being less than .5 cm from the airbox. Then he starts shaking the crap out of my airbox saying it isn't contacting! I was scared it was going to break it so I am like, "whoa! that crap is plastic calm down." Then I explained to him how the whole engine moves slightly at times on its engine mounts, not just the airbox moving alone. He said "but I gave it a good shake and it didn't contact." I said "trust me, I hear it the occasional time on acceleration, the engine can easily move that less than .5 cm in that situation, and when it does it is contacting the siren." So he reluctantly moved it and I don't want to jinx anything, but I didn't hear the noise once on my way home.

The saddest part is that this place was highly recommend by a crap load of people on the forums I frequent, everyone seems to kiss the affiliates a$$es, and this place is one of them. I will not leave negative feedback for them because it seems to be fixed, but I won't leave them positive, because if these rookie mistakes is what showed after one day, I do not want to think what could happen down the road.

 

Oh ya, plus the ****ing newb tech guy stalled my ride!!! WTF! I was going to drive it into the bay and he said, "here, I l'll do it." As if that isn't bad enough, after stalling it the ****in kid screwed with it more, because he burned the clutch so bad by very slowly squeezing into the bay with way too much throttle.

 

Never go there again. Leave honest feedback. Never believe what you hear on the internet again.

******* cocky *** idiots.
