I have a TIPM problem a few days ago, the dealer said that the TIPM has damaged and has to be change...

My Caliber is a 07 SE year and version.

An alarm shop installed a year and half ago a non factory buglar alarm.

The alarm was conected to the red wire (power) in the starter cylinder (ignition switch) at steering column.

-Does this power source (red) wire has any relation with the TIPM, Do you think conecting to feed the alarm to that power source can damage or over heat the Caliber TIPM or that wire is not related with the TIPM ?

-Also, In what case has to be a Relay and in what zone has to be installed the relay when installing a buglar alarm in the Caliber?

-After this, how important is to know the Caliber electrical system before installing an Alarm or it is like any other car electrical system?

Thank you in advance my friends for your kind help.

Regards

 

Welcome to the forum. I do not have a wiring diagram but I can see how that would effect the TIPM system.

 

Thank you so much, your kind help will be appresated.

Best regards.

 

Sounds like maybe the unit just failed on it's own.
