If it\'s an FD, check the TNS relay in the slam panel relay box

Just throwing this one in as i screamed blue murder after i had an alarm fitted as mine did exactly the same! but the guy when i took it back told me "oh i found a switch that had been added" the jap had put switch just below the steering wheel that turns the sidelights on o.0

i dont know WHY you would want a switch that automaticaly turns the sidelights on when you turn the car on, but he had it setup that way.

It doesnt have a switch on top of the ignition cowling does it?? like the subarus have ??

Also what did u do prior to them coming on

it doesnt no, thanks for all the help people. Checked that tns relay, and it seems when i pull it out its fine, the relay it self looks damaged, can i use the air pump relay as a spare as i dont have one any more, i noticed it has an extra pin though, where would i get this tns relay from?

When i bought the car the radio wires were all cut out but at that time it seemed ok!

give tim at rxmotors a ring sure he would have some relays instock

[ttpower]

cool, will do, what does that tns relay control anyways??

[andysmee]

sidelights, dash lights, rear tail lights. You\'ll get stopped without it
 
You can use a standard automotive fuse to bypass the relay - it happens to fit in the pins you need. Just take it out when you switch the car off.
