Default Aftermarket Alarms

I got a Clifford Inteli7500 or something like that. When I disarm the alarm, the driver side door will unlock, and then takes about a second for the rest to unlock.. that normal with the clifford alarms or any other alarms? Or do I need this to be checked? It doesn't bother me, but I just want to see if it could be anything wrong?

I really can't tell you. I have no experience with them.I am looking to get a Clifford or Viper alarm myself.

I know with most keyless entrys if you press the open door it opens just the drivers side and if you press it twice or hold it in it will open all the doors but your situation seems a little bit different. Like there is a delay between your driver side door and the rest opening.

its not the clifford alarm.... its your car. our cars reqire a single pulse to unlock the drivers door, and a double pulse to unlock the rest of the doors. after the drivers door is unlocked, it takes a few seconds for the alarm to throw the 2nd pulse out.

This is normal......... don't worry.

if you have any future issues/problems with your alarm, i would suggest calling, or taking the car back to he place that installed it!

your installer was a little on the lazy side when he did the install... there is another wire you can tap into that will unlock all the doors from a single pulse in the passengers kick.

I had this problem with my lexus. . . possible fixes:
If you do not have an OEM alarm, there might be a way to wire the unlock trigger to the passenger side mechanism. . . if it is the same, which it should be, the passenger door only takes one turn to unlock all the doors (I believe the unlock mechanism is disabled when locked in these cars). Just a possibility.

The installer installed it to provide maxium safety, by only unlocking one door, it can be changed so all doors unlock. Bill

I think his is already set up to unlock all doors, unless I read the post wrong. . . he's just complaining about the two-pulse delay.

I was suggesting that there may be a lead you can tap into that only needs a single pulse, thus no delay. This would not impede the security in anyway.

Passenger side kick panel, blue with a red stripe wire, unlocks all four doors with a single pulse.

Yep,
Of course Bill is right!

You may also have to program the alarm to do a single pulse on that output.
