Sometimes my Angel eyes won't turn off.

silverbullet325 · 02-21-2008, 07:40 AM

I have them spliced into the main acessory wire in the control box per the istructions. The problem is sometimes they turn off about 30 seconds after the car is stopped (walk away feature) and sometimes they do not turn off at all. I have never sat there for more than about a minute to see how long they actually stay on. I just turn the key over and turn it back and this resets the computer and then they go off after 30 seconds. I'm not sure if I left them they would turn off at all before draining my battery dead. Diagram of wire I tapped into below. Its the red and white stripped with yellow dots. Anyone else have this happen?

Mine stay on for about 5-10 seconds or when the doors are open since I wired the remote feature. For some reason your accessory wire still has power for longer thaan that. Kinda weird.

Yeah and its not all the time. Most of the time it works as planned but sometimes it goofs up. I swear our cars are worse than women when it comes to mood swings.

I noticed the same thing when I first got them. I eventually gave up and left it as is and have yet to have any battery issues (knock on wood). They do turn off eventually...It usually happens after a fairly long drive right??

Happens to me sometimes to, just give them a minute and they will shut off

Haven't payed attention to the drive time but I will now. Do you just leave them on and walk away and they reset?

StikiGreenZ · 02-21-2008, 09:44 AM

It happens to me, sometimes I've waited 3-4 minutes for them to go off. They ALWAYS do go off within 5 minutes.

Are you talking about the remote feature? Because that's not the wire you tap for that. They only stay on because there is still power running through the accessory wire.

SL Blak Soldier · 02-21-2008, 08:05 PM

The wire you tapped is for the auxiliary fan if i'm not mistaken(which is hte correct wire to tap), so it will stay on for a while after the car is turned off. They will go off after a couple of minutes and they shouldn't drain your battery. you should be fine, nothing to worry about.

ahhchu430 · 02-21-2008, 11:54 PM

I just walk away and it turns off whenever, no big deal. I tend to check it after driving a long distance so it's probably a coincidence.

My angels wouldn't turn off for more than a minute for first time today within 10 seconds of car being turned off. All I did was just turn my lights on and off without the key in the ignition and the angels turned off.

Yup, just sometimes your fan needs to stay on a bit longer. No problem.

00Rayger00 · 03-07-2008, 02:44 AM

Mine wouldnt turn off last night either....So I had to put the key in the ignition and turn my low beams off and on again. They turned off after doing this, but when I went to start my car today, they will not turn on.

Can anyone help me? I miss my angel eyes!!!

sillieidiot · 03-07-2008, 02:54 AM
