HID's causing factory alarm to go nuts??
#11
Yeah, it was pretty funny when this was still going on. I remember we got out and when he locked it it did it's usual two chirps and then we took about 4 steps and then the horn started going nuts and the lights were flashing... We were both like, "WTF dude!" Lol!

Well I cant tell you what happened to the alarm but I can tell you that the fog lights are wired in a way that if you have the switch on and arm your alarm the fogs will flash. The HID ballast can be causing issues with the BCM. The relays in the BCM are not rated to handle the extra current that the ballast needs to energise the HID lights. Unless they are in use I would keep the foglights off.

One way to cure the ballast issue is to have a relay switch the ballast. Attach the coil side of the relay to the factory fog wires and then make a feed with a fuse from power to the HID ballast then the other side of the ballast to ground. If you need me to draw a schematic I will just let me know. You will need 1 relay for each ballast. Using the standard "fog light relay" like you find in the kits made by Blazer will handle the current just fine.
