nath 134 Report post Posted December 5, 2005 Ok so i wanted keyless entry so i went and bought the most basic uniden alarm. red and yellow (constant hot and ignition switched) and ground are easy. these are the wires i need to find on my car: -parking light (i think it should be indicators) -negative door switch -lock -unlock where might these be found on my car?

gmccormack 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2005 The lock/unlock (green/blue & yellow/blue) and door switch (brown/violet)can all be found behind the drivers side front speaker panel. The indicator wires (blue/red and blue/yellow from memory) can be found by removing the cardboard panel under the steering column. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topless 13 Report post Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) If you use both left and right indicators for indicating arm/disarm, you will need to install diodes in the lines from the indicator wires. Otherwise just use one side, no diode needed. The indicator wires (blue/red and blue/yellow from memory) I think the right indicator wire is blue/black, left blue/red..

gmccormack 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2005 Yes, sorry if it's only a basic alarm you might need diodes or you can use a double pole relay but if your lucky the alarm might have to seperate output wires for the left and right indicators. William it is blue/black not blue/yellow, sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nath 134 Report post Posted December 6, 2005 ok so the alarms god to go, i think you may have lock and unlosk around the wrong way, however i may have written it down the wrong way. i still need two diodes for the indicators which i will get when i have the time, then done!! cheers for the help graeme, i actually would have given up by now otherwise! ur info made it piss easy cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
