Car Alarms: can your car alarm weaken your car battery, crimestopper alarm, car battery
QuestionHope you can help me..in 2003 I had a crimestopper alarm installed in my 2000 Neon...however soon after I would have trouble starting my car..can an alarm weaken your car battery?..I did take it back to where I purchased it and he told me if that was the case he would be out of business..he did unhook the alarm and told me to see if I still have trouble..I brought a new car battery however never went back to have him hook alarm back up...so my question is could the car alarm weaken my car battery?
AnswerA car alarm should only weaken your battery if the installation was faulty. As he stated, why would anyone want one if they did kill the battery. I would have to think your battery was indeed on it's way out and coincidentally went out after the alarm installation.
