Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't my DIY Alarm give me a Warn-Away when you approach the vehicle?

Bulldog security FAQ
The Warn Away responds only when a direct impact is applied to the body. A harder impact after this initial Warn-Away will set the alarm off in full alarm. Make sure the unit is securely mounted with all three screws to the metal body of the vehicle. Also make sure the black wire from the unit is attached to the bracket bolt. If this is all in place, check the white fuse holder and make sure the red power clip is connected firmly to the (+) positive side of the battery.

I can't guarantee it but most pets eat well here (from the excitement/activity with the other "playmates" . I will entice a dog to eat with making a gravy out of a tablespoon or teaspoon of Solid Gold canned food or sometimes ground lamb. Nine out of ten dogs will eat all the food.

My DIY Alarm goes off 45 seconds after arming. Why?

Bulldog security FAQ
If the alarm goes off into full alarm 45 seconds after arming, this is telling you that the current signal of the alarm has been activated. If you have a cell phone, radar detector or aftermarket amplifiers installed in the vehicle, these units pull enough current even when turned off to activate the system. You can disconnect these units from power or turn off the current sensing on the unit. No, each unit is individually coded and has its own unique code number.

Absolutely. Any standing moisture bagged in will be trapped inside. This could be harmful. Do not wash the vehicle just before putting away. Moisture behind chrome and in cracks must have time to dry. Do not drive on wet road or wet grass before storing. Air conditioners should not be used before storing because the evaporator drips water. Make sure the cooling system does not leak.
