mechengrkj Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 On the 87 I had in high school, the security light stayed on all the time when the security was armed, but the 88 I just got does not. I would like to have it on all the time when the car is locked as a theft deterrent. Any ideas on how this can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechengrkj Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 All that does is turn the light on for 20 seconds and then it shuts off. I want it on all the time when the car is locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbrad511 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 That's normal. I remember my 87 only being on for certain length of time too, just like my 88. I'm not sure there's a procedure for having the light on full time, shy of wiring an extra led into the cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechengrkj Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Maybe I will just add a switch to that bulb in the cluster and just switch it on when I lock the car up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
