Car alarm question.

[TegSox]

Don't just unplug it. You'll need to reconnect any OEM wires that were cut. There shouldn't be many if that's just an alarm. Find the brain, then go one by one with the wires. Unconnect them from the car's OEM wiring, patch up the bare wire with some electrical tape.

Alright well im pretty happy im new to all this and i have gone a long way im learning alot but i still dont know enough but this fourm is very helpful and hopefully i can help the same back alright well back to the car im pretty sure i found the brain but it does nto have a name on it? so idk if it is a brain or it is and its a ghetto alarm i have no idea but heres some pics ill explain them again..

This is the box that i found it was up under the das had take the plastic off and a piece of metal that was bolted just had to loosen that up to get the box out from there.

That is the only thing on the box no name what so ever.

Wires coming out from the box.

if im not mistaken this would be the ground? not sure if hooked up corretly.

And the yellow wire all the way in the back of the picture that is comin from the engine im guessing i have no idea i tried looking for it under the hood no where to be found so i have no idea

So please reply if that is the alarm then how would i go about taking it out? just un plug it and ittl be fine? is there anything conected to the started or to the engine? because i almost got my car the way i need it now i just need this mess out so please help on how to take it out and stuff and that yellow wire.. please guys im almost there u guys helped me outalot i really appreciate it

O i didnt see the reply with removing it but i dont really understand what you meant by that? so if i just un plug all the wires what would happen? and what would be the correct way of removing an alarm.

wow... thats one weird looking module... looks hella old too.

any chance you can open it w/o breaking any clips/brackets?

 

[johnownsall2]

There is a little piece that slides off just a little square why? But yea i thought it was fairly old and the owner b4 me wasnt to good with cars so w.e and i enjoy workin on them so yea. But yea what woul be the best and safest way to remove this alarm and all its wires and how do i know if it hooked up to the starter? because i wouldnt want that effecting anything..

basically you can go about it one of two ways.
1. you can cleanly and carefully cut all of the wires connected to the brain and cap them off WELL. (Not Recommended

or

2. Follow every wire like I said earlier in the thread and remove them correctly taping or capping off any expose d wires or you will run into problems down the road. If I didn't know what I was doing I would just do what pat said and take it to an aftermarket stereo expert and let them do it.

 

[johnownsall2]

ok the only hing i dont understand is the guy said you got to reconect the oem wires i dont understand that

 

[dc2b18]

he means that the wires coming out of the brain are tying into wires in the cars harness. You need to make sure they are all covered well and connected to prevent any wiring issues in the future

 

[johnownsall2]

ok and what bout the starter how do i no if it is connected or anything? in the last pic there is a yellow wire goin towards the engine but dont no where that goes couldnt follow it

 

[dc2b18]

I would just cap it off, how the remote start works is the 12v wire running to the brain gives it power, when you push the button on the remote the brain sends the 12v signal down to the starter and starts the car. If you do as I said you won't have any problems but again, if you have any doubts just have a professional do it.

it didnt have a remote i ujst took it out i cut a few wires that were attatched to the oem wires i guess and taped themup and hid them thanks alot guys

 

[johnownsall2]

Well i tought it was good but when i tried starting the car now it doesnt start so its somethin with the starter all i did was cut like 7 wires that were from the car origannly and taped them all up and now it doesnt start or ne thing so idk what i did but whn i hook a wire from the starter to the battery and then start it well my friend start it then it starts right up why is this please help

 

[patrick4588]

because the starter wire that goes from the starter to the ignition switch was ran into the brain. i told you in IM that would happen...

 

[dc2b18]

like i said, you should have just taken it to a professional. Its not coincidence that your starter doesn't work when you cut a bunch of wires under your dash..

 

[tisguy]

like I mentioned the brain sits in the middle of the wires as a switch, disconnecting wires will end up not letting your car start.

Did you resplice the oem color wires to each other?
