So it's almost 5am here, haven't went to sleep yet, through the trickle charger on the car a few hours ago cause my alternator doesn't have enough amps to charge the batter. For some fucked up reason the hunk of **** alarm just goes off, bitch ass neighbor was out there glaring at me, so I picked my nose with my middle finger on the way back in.

can you just disconnect it. also found a good reliable source for HO alternators.

j9fd3s 01-10-2004 11:28 AM

you can unplug it, i think its on the same panel/peice as the right front speaker

ColinRX7 01-10-2004 11:32 AM

I removed mine entirely.. Wasn't that hard while I was already in there disconnecting it.. It's under the dash by the right front speaker (as j9fd3s said).

One would think that the car wouldnt start or something without the alarm. But you can unplug and remove it.

j9fd3s 01-10-2004 11:48 AM

the power locks even still work without it (mine did take a 1 year vacation though)

i would have kept it if it worked right

ColinRX7 01-11-2004 10:32 AM

I had to take mine out to make the aftermarket alarm work properly.

I still can't figure out how the hell to activate mine..

I don't know about you but playing with electronic gadgetry from the 80s is kind of scary. Anything electronic that I can replace with something more current I have done, and am doing currently.



I still have my stock alarm module though if anybody wants it. Free! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png It was working fine but interfered with my aftermarket alarm, so it had to come out.. Dunno if perhaps the module itself you guys are having problems with?

The stock alarm is sensitive to the doors, hood, ignition, lock position sensor, and hatch. If any of the door pins are shot it wont activate.

It seems to activate fine when I get out of the car lock it and then open the trunk and shut it..

RONIN FC 01-11-2004 11:30 AM

Door pins are shot.

Rob x-7 01-11-2004 04:26 PM

try cleaning the door pins, sometimes on my vert I have to push

the plunger in and out a few times to get the alarm to activate,

I figure the pushing in and out fast cleans it up.

75 Repu 01-11-2004 04:29 PM

will do..

phinsup 01-12-2004 02:15 PM

PIECE OF ****!



Went off at 3:20 AM, I couldn't hear it, ******* neighbor were pounding on my door all pissed off. I told the guy I was sorry and he started tearing into me, so I told him to get over it, **** happens.
