Electrical issues?

[Coolguyuno1]

Any time I give it gas I get a false laser warning.... It happens the most in third between 3-6 RPM. Also, anytime I floor it I get this false laser alerts also! I drive an 06 Lancer Evolution. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

^ This is a rather comprehensive post on the topic.

Many have had good success with some of the measures taken in this thread's various postings and references.

Hopefully, you'll achieve resolution with the methods undertaken above - however, if you cannot, there then remains the possibility that "something else" may be the issue, including the detector itself.

Thanks for info, I also forget to let you guys know, this only started to happen in the last month after it did this little calibration thing!

What kind of Calibration thing to the detector or your car?

[Coolguyuno1]

The detector just had this message on it for awhile, it did it twice on X2 different car start-ups, have not seen it since.... said something along the lines of "Calib" I could be wrong on the exact phrase

Self Cal messages are normal, when it says service required then you might have a problem.

Have you tried a reset? Also, sometimes the cord can be at fault, I would try to swap the cord. Another thing how is the charging system in your car, low voltage can affect it too.

How is your RD powered -- coiled cord or via a hardwired cord? I am suspecting nothing wrong with your RD and instead that the RD is not getting clean power.

Yeah, it's plugged into the cig lighter, I was going to hardwire it, but I like the mute button . Also, it is the coiled cored!

[Coolguyuno1]

I fixed it ! Just got a damp cue tip and cleaned cig input and both sides of the radar power cord! Thanks for help everyone!

Ok so guess not, its not fixed!!! It started up again, the radar detector did this "calibration" thingy and it started giving me false lasers again!
