Lights Dont Flash anymore

Hello Rev Scene

Here is my issue. My lights don't flash anymore when I arm or dis arm the car
(99 Civic) This started happen after I switched out the stereo. Its a compustar 2 way alarm/starter combo

I am thinking I missed something during the deck swap or it could be unrelated.
Any Suggestions would be great


Thanks

Did you hook up the dimmer wire on the stereo harness? If so, disconnect it and see if that fixes anything.

If not, the stereo shouldnt have anything to do with the lighting system. If your deck or alarm wasn't properly installed you could've maybe loosened a wire during the install or have a short somewhere. When people twist and tape or use quick connectors things tend to wiggle loose.

If all else fails, bring it to one of the sponsors (BPG or SG) and we could try and figure it out.

Possibly blown 20 amp fuse at the alarms park light output, or you may have knocked out a connection for light at the top of the factory fuse block under the drivers side dash. Look for a green/white wire from the alarm.
