strange electrical issue

Ok well long story short. 8 months ago I installed a maniac alternator and around a week ago the voltage regulator in it went and it began charging my car at 16-17v. I installed a new alternator. everything works minus the headlights (the fogs,highbeams, and driving lights work fine). In addition my security button continuously flashes and I attempted to turn it off while I was driving and it set off the alarm. The alarm would not go off until I pulled over and pulled a battery cable.

Can anyone tell me what components/ grounds/relays are related???

Anyway I will be in the driveway with my multimeter....any help would be appreciated!!!

one of my SVX's, the 200K one, does this every time I disconnect the battery cable and reconnect it without going in and pushing the security button immediately. It won't "stop the noise" until I disconnect the battery again and push the button again.

Make sure the fuses are ok? Not just a visual check...

Good luck

Re: strange electrical issue

Well have you tried replace the security module? You may have damage it when your alternator went out.
