Quantum used to like Texalarm products, at least when i bought mine. Do you have any details on what make/model the immobiliser is ? Where did the smoke come from ? And it only appeared after you had turned the engine off ? A lot of alarms and immobilisers are badly fitted (not saying by Quantum), often wires are only twisted together. I’d remove the steering column shrouds and have a close look at wires that have been joined into under there. Jim From: Ken Needham Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2016 7:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Quantum Owners] Hi all, After 6 years of daily use and 100,000 miles on top of the 60K when I bought it, my 1990 Q has got me stuck! I stopped in a car park, went to get out and light smoke came from the dash. Argh! Disconnected battery as quick as I could and AA carried us home. So what went wrong? I found that the main power lead on the starter solenoid had the insulation burnt off by exhaust heat and the bare part had made contact with the solenoid enable contact but not enough to pull the solenoid in.. Having sorted that, great it all checked out, couldn't see any burnt wiring looking at the fuse panel and steering column so started up ok. Just moved the car in the drive but now when I put the security pod on the contacts, I can hear the security relay chattering. The chattering stops after the time-out period. So since this relay unit is up high behind the dash and I cannot find any reference to device wiring, without removing the whole dash I'm stuck. As far as I know, the security device is a standard fitment, the contacts sit below the screen heater and fog light switches on the right of the dash. Does anyone have any info or advise please?
