I got a weird one.
I have a Valentine 1 radar detector. It worked great in my '00 S10. Just fine in my '02 Avalanche. But in my '04 Silverado SS, it's lazer detector goes off anytime I give the truck 'moderate' throttle.
Any idea's?
Some info:
The lazer goes off anytime I pull up close to a convenience store.
It goes off anytime snow blows across the windshield, on a sunny day. (snow breaking down the light like prisms... that makes sense)
It goes off anytime I pull up behind a Trailblazer or Envoy. I don't know if it's the backup sensors or the tailights giving off some funny light. It's ONLY those two vehicles though.
I recently swapped out the stock 900 ohm plug wires, with 35-40 ohm aftermarket wires. Right after the upgrade, the lazer warnings went away almost completely. The truck wasn't running like it's usual self, either. A little down on power. Over the last week, the power is back, and the lazer's are back to their usual frequency.
Thanks,
