Default Curb Alert Problem

I installed a curb alert and I am having problems. When I calibrate the sensor and press the red button some times it beeped and sometime not. Finally after about 3 hrs. i got it calibrated. It worked good 2 or 3 times and then it didn't work. I redid everything and it works, but when it beeps it just is a steady tone that won't stop. Turned off the engine still steady beep.
I had to unplug at the fuse box to turn it off.

HELP

What fuse location did you install the add-a-circuit? When you turned the car off it should have turned off the curb alert as well. IF you installed it in the seat heater fuse or another switched fuse. Since you say it continued to beep even with the car off, it sounds like you are using an always on fuse power source.

The Curb Alert actually stays "hot" for about 10 minutes after you shut the car off.

I finally got it to work. The directions were confusing. I watched the calibration video, and that made it easy.

Thanks
