Anyone ever install an alarm?

Hopefully an update tomorrow!

Ya, I don't ever want to do this again. In fact, if I don't have it functioning tomorrow, I'm ripping the damn thing out. I've never been one to have alot of patience, but when it's 80 degrees out, I have even less.

Take care of my twin.

Johnny cash Special 74-75-76 freak. 77 XR7. 78 LTD II sport looks pretty but poop 302 in it.

Update:

I thought I had everything connected. Which I did. With the exception of the power wire. Fixed.

-The keypad now worked. Lock Unlocked, and Unlock Locked. Simple fix, I had wired flipped.

-Trunk release doesn't work. Probably something stupid.

-Had no power windows. I forgot to plug the wire back into the fuse panel.

I haven't hooked up the siren yet, as to not piss the neighbors off too much.

My biggest thing now though.. The switch in the drivers door for the door locks acts as if it's running of a dying battery (if that makes sense). It seems like there's barely enough juice for it to lock/unlock only that door a couple times, then nothing. But the remote for the alarm works just fine, as does the switch on the passengers door.

I'm much less disgusted than I was earlier. I need to mount the trigger for the trunk/hood yet, and hook up the siren. I have the wires ran for that, just not hooked up yet.

I'll take this as good news. Hopefully I have the bugs worked out tomorrow, and I can finally start getting this thing back together and driving.

	Good Lord, I never want to have to do this to one of mine. My hat's off to you for doing it, though.

	What type of issues are you running into? Are the troubles you are experiencing with the alarm's add-ons or the alarm brain itself? When I installed or while attempting to install my alarm I had issues with relays not unlatching/shutting off power, after troubleshooting and contacting the alarm manufacturer, I found out the battery(under the hood) was on its last legs. X2 on the patience thing. I hope you get it figured out. Todd

	We are up north where the mexicans behave. We can leave keys in the cars always. We do not lock our house doors. Fat chicks stay away from us as the black men love fat really fat chicks. Life is never perfect but is it ever...... Happy enough
