My lazer goes off on my x50 when i pass through a tollbooth

 

no problemo.

basically it comes down to there is some sort of EM interference that's leaking over to the detector. if you're under warranty, call Escort. they will repair/exchange it for you w/o question, as they were aware of the problem when i talked to them.

 

OK, now it even gets better, every time I hit my trunk release button the Laser goes off... now I'm on a mission to see how many Laser "tiggers" I have!!!

 

Is it the fluid pump moreso than the fluid itself?

 

-- trunk release as well? too funny

and yes, it isn't the fluid doing it... as we've shown in several cases, it's various sources of electro-magnetic noise. (aka motors, relays, etc.)

 

Send it back to Escort and have them check it out. I sent my 8500 back to them because the sensitivity seemed really low and they put in a new antenna and calibrated it at no charge. It was under warranty though.

Just for kicks I took the 8500 out of the Pilot and put it back in the S2000. My washer fluid does not set it off, nor anything else I tried.

 

yeah, if you're under warranty - send it back. they did that for my Odyssey and it came back right as rain. took them less than 2 weeks turn around time.

 

It's not the fluid, it's the washer fluid motor... crappy, lossy, EMI-ridden motors. Trunk release is a solenoid... crappy, lossy, EMI-ridden solenoids
