I have gotten a bunch of electrical problems with my car (outlined on another thread) but part of the weird electrical gremlins is that the security system will randomly go off and sometimes drain the battery (or maybe it's a coincidence) anyway, my dealer who's trying to diagnose said that security codes are difficult to diagnose. My car recently was throwing P1260 Theft Detected, Vehicle Immobilized. Does anyone know if the computer records how the theft was triggered? i.e. does it say which door was opened or the hatch (as far as I know, there's no pin on the hood) -- it's the Mazda factory security system, so surely the dealer should be able to pinpoint the trigger, No?
At this point we're trying to determine if the security system is screwball due to low voltage or if the screwball security system is causing the low voltage (the battery is 2 weeks old!) Lots of snow and salt exposure in the last month, I suspect bad connections somewhere. Grrr.
Thanks!
