PeterJames Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 What makes you think the fault is in the 4 inches that you cut off? Where does it run from to? By that, I mean does it run under the floor or around the skirting board, under the carpet etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be interpreted that way I suppose, but I read it that he removed 4" of cable off the keypad cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Yeah, 4' is a pretty short flylead. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda3 Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hi thanks for the replies. I did that because the keypad was next to cellar door and it kept hitting it when opening, not ideal but was like that when i moved in. Its been ok since i cut wire but most of the time the fuse last months so not sure if thats fixed it. I Do realy want to replace the kepad because some buttons have become unresponsive. Any suggestions just for the keypad would be great thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda3 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 It blew again!!. I realy want to change it over but think i should at least check with a multimeter 1st to try and find out why. Not 100% sure how though any suggestions would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 You need to disconnect something or run it on its own fuse to diagnose which bit of kit is blowing the fuse Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

MrHappy Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 @Honda3 find a local tame alarm man, get them to price via email to replace the controls, battery & external bell. they'll measure all the cables & currents if they've 1/2 a brain... I'd assume your cables are stapled under the carpets ? Replace the fuse & tread on every inch of carpet where a cable might be lurking 1 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
