Palazzo 477 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 My convertible currently gets started about once a month, when I reconnect the battery, the alarm goes off and I struggle (failed dismally today) to turn it off with the remote. It is a Mongoose of some sort, (has the interior movement sensor with auto windows up if that helps) and I suspect it also contributes to my intermittent starting problem ( all lights come on, fuel pumps, no starter motor, then starter motor, instant start). Can I just pull the wires (all plugs plus power I think) out and throw it out the door, or do I need to get someone to "uninstall" it? Ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmwNewbe 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 if the alarm just stops the starter from turning over and all fuel pumps etc work then the most comon place to break the starter wire is behind the ignition lock so should just be a case of locating the module of the alarm and trace the wires from there then disconect from where they are joined in,and make sure to connect up origonal wires that were either cut or spliced in to. if its all pulled out but only the starter wire is connected up then it will start ok but if you get stuck you might need somone that knows what they are at to re wire up the windows depending on how it was wired in.
