Hey, my buddy has a 2003 Tacoma. He has a Marksman alarm that was installed by Beamriders. I replaced the stock LED in the dash with a Varad one, but it is not very bright, and it flashes in a stuttering manner. Anyone know if these alarms have a weak output? I kept the led wired up through the resistor pack, but only used the black and red, obviously.

 

the marksman led output is PROBABLY flashing to begin with.

 

So I should just bypass the Varad's built in resistor pack?

 

no...instead of using the led output, use the "negative out while armed" to activate the varad scanner.

 

Thanks for your help! Appreciate it.

 

no prob dude.
