False Alarm

Its was a rough day. (Several weeks ago) Things were falling apart.  The car alarm was blaring through the neighborhood.  And it was our car.

Our CRV that we have has a security alarm that was blaring off.  It all started when Glenn started up the vehicle to head out to SETECA for some meetings, when he decided to come inside and retrieve a forgotten item.  He left the car running with the door left open.  3 minutes later the engine shut off. 

Because the security/alarm system is wired so that if the door is left open for a period of time, the engine shuts off.  EXAMPLE:  Say you are held up at gun point here in the city and someone wants to steal your vehicle.  You leave the door open, and presto, the engine shuts off.

But what do you do if you just get distracted and forget about this alarm?  Well, you have to tow the vehicle to your favorite mechanic shop and get it rewired.

The next day the alarm was repaired.  It was a bit complicated but we were glad to get that over and done with.
