Hey, I just have a quick question for ya'll. I just got a Clifford alarm installed with the remote start on my 2004 Solara. And I just wanted to check a problem/feature with anyone else's alarm to see if it's normal for these types of alarm.
Here goes...
You know how the automatic lights are supposed to turn off by themselves after 30 seconds when you leave the car (pre-Clifford)? Well, if I just happened to remotely start the engine and then remotely stop the engine (post-Clifford), then let the passive arming do its thing, the headlights come on, but don't seem to go off (since I didn't open/close the doors) I've allowed ample time (>20 minutes) for it to go off, but it doesn't happen... is that the same for yours? I just wanted some more information before I go back to the installer. I know the simple solution would be to turn the headlights off whenever I leave the car, but that would be defeating the purpose of automatic lights.
Tonight, I'm going to try remotely starting the car, letting the timer run out (so the car stops automatically) and then see if the lights go off then...
