Yesterday I was pleased to receive my pscan from Philip. Hooked it up to the old Compaq laptop, loaded up the software, plugged it in to Clayton (Oct '03 Japanese Spec TF with Pektron) and everything worked as it should. On the Pektron page I tried the various actuators, all of which worked as advertised except the Interior Lamps, which stayed on regardless. I didn't think much about that, but after I finished fiddling and left the car overnight I found a flat battery the next morning. Charged, it turns out that the interior lamps stay on regardless of the position of the doors, ignition key or my mouth. I cranked up pscan again and tried the lamp actuator , but selecting on or off made no difference. Currently I've pulled the fuse, losing clock and audio as well.

I'm assuming that the problem is Pektron related. I can't see how testing the actuator could have caused the problem, but does anybody have any relevant experience or ideas?

Another minor change happens when I alarm the car. The lights have never blinked when I lock the car with the fob and still don't, but now the horn gives a short beep . Also, the alarm light on the dash no longer flashes. Hard not to wonder if my fiddling with pscan has made these changes, but I can't see how. I carefully avoided using any function change buttons.

All suggestions gratefully appreciated. Sadly, it's not practical to send the Pektron to Technozen from New Zealand.
