Oh, but it does! If the Theft Deterrent Module is triggered, it energizes the relay behind the DIC and breaks the path to the solenoid. It also blows the horns. What could be happening is that one or both horns has a short. The driver's door lock cylinder theft switch has malfunctioned, so the alarm can't be disarmed from the driver's door. When entering the alarm goes off, but since one or both horns has a short, the CTSY/CLOCK Fuse immediately blows, so the horns don't sound and you won't hear the horn relay clicking. Since the theft module still has power, through the In-Line Fuse behind the DIC, the Starter Interrupt Relay stays energized and the starter won't crank. All speculation as to the cause though, but fact that the '84 and '85 have an immobilizer feature. I'd get behind the DIC and remove the 10 amp In-Line Fuse. This will disable the Theft Deterrent System and see what happens. Quick and dirty, he could try unlocking the passenger door from outside with the round key. This may disarm the alarm and see if he get cranking. |
