More Alarm Help Needed Asap! Post #4!

[joey2714]

Im about to put my 5900 in but i have a few questions.

1) For the back up battery they say to wire the trigger wire to a "ground when triggered" Wire coming off of the alarm, which one would be best?

2)I am wiring 2 shock sensors, just hook them up together? Parallel i guess?

3) 2 sirens outside and 1 piezo inside i shouldnt need a relay correct?

Thanks ahead of time

1.) Orange wire off main harness is ground when armed.

2.) Parallel is correct..

3.) You should be fine, anything more than three and you need a relay so you don't burn out the output of the alarm.

You can find the install manual here:

1) You can use the brown wire (horn output) in the 2 pin horn/chan 6 harness (pg 26).

2) You can wire up the red and black and parallel, but wire the green and blue of sensor #1 to the green wire towards the alarm, and wire the green and blue of sensor #2 to the blue wire towards the alarm.

Doing it this way eliminates the need for resistors (see page 32).

3) Yes, a relay is needed.

i started to put it in, but on the main harness what is the blue/white wire "remote start activation"?? Where the hell does that go to??

1=blue trunk wire on main brain harness

2=shock sensor plug has one side with a tail, that side plugs into brain, take secon shock sensor and combine bl/grn wires togethe on that one tail wire. hook the red to a pos 12v and black to ground.

3= no relay... do it all the time

4= start act input gets no connection, used for optional accy like a remortstart temp/clock timer start.

small black/white stripe goes to ground, dont need to use the toggle.

awesome man thanks.. 1 more.. 2 shock sensors and a glass sensor.. how do i do all three? should i just do both shock sensors as descirbed above and then do the audio sensor to the optional dual stage sensor input on the brain?

FUCK alarms.. all i have to say. I couldnt get the stupid thing to work so i ripped it all out. I may try again but i may take it somewhere.. i fucking hate the idea of someone else wiring something in my car though
