Gunner 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) I know this isn't for a bmw but its for my dads old jeep he has at our bach. The alarm isn't responding to the remote anymore. Changed the battery in the remote but no help so i think our only choice nw is to cut the alarm and try and re-wire it. Its an Izuzu Big Horn like 1987. Is there any trick to cutting and reattaching the old wires? is it a complicated process looked on the internet and to me it seems complicated or does it just take a lot of time? or is it as simple as disconnecting the alarm brain?

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 Its dependent on how well it was installed in the first place mate, unless you have a grasp on auto electrics I would recommend taking it to a pro, should cost 3 hours worth of work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1258 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 most alarms are hooked into the ignition wiring loom just down a bit from teh ignition key and switch etc . they normally break into the main power feeds to the coil and starter motor , so by reconecting them , cutting the alarm siren , away you go . but if its a factory alarm i would be a bit more carefull Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 the cars on an island so taking it to an auto electrician is not really an auto so its not much of a biggy if it doesn't go anymore. i assume its an aftermarket alarm but its a brand i've never really heard of called unilarm? read on the internet that if i was able to disconnect the relay that it mite work? haven't had a chance to inspect it myself. Thanks tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
