nath 129 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 Yo, 5 years ago i installed a basic alarm in a 1990 316i in no time at all, why was it so easy then, and so hard now??!! I have a 1985 318i sedan and have no idea how i knew which wires were lock/ unlock last time. Can anyone tell me which wires these are behind the kick panel in my 318? The rest are simple, but these two have me stumped... Cheers boys Nathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 Micro switches for the control are located in both front doors and in the boot. Why not trace/tap into the wires from the driver's door? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jochen 4 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 All switch wiring goes to the ZKE / GM. So connect everything there.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
