Capacitor thingy

Post by The Great Pretender » Thu Jan 03, 2013 1:13 am

In the dim and distant past after seeing it on here I got a gismo, basically a capacitator that kept the interior light on after the doors were closed then slowly degraded.
Anyone know if they are still available and from where?

They can cause issues with some alarms if you arm the system while the interior light is still on. Most decent alarms will have a configurable delayed arming period to cater for the light staying on. The alarm on my previous Bongo turned the interior light on when dis-armed and then left it on for enough time to get th key in the ignition which was a nice feature,
