nath 129 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 5 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 129 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
