Clifford Alarm Install

[jbmax112]

Has anyone on this site attempted to install a car alarm by themselves? Well, im going to try it. I found a web site that sells the alarms and comes with the vehicle specific wiring diagram. I would like to know if anyone has come up with any complications while installing an alarm and if i should look out for some things.!

Im going to Order the Clifford 3.3 with Field Disturbance and the relay to let me start the car with out the key. Im excited and cant wait to start this project, just need a little feedback. ANything will help..

Thanks in Advance guys.!!!!

Here is some info that may be of some help to you!

Here is some info that may be helpful for you. Below is the electrical diagram of a 2003 GT Mustang 4.6 ignition switch circuit. For any after market electronic equipment installation, you want to stay away from tapping into the two red high-lited # 13-12 circuits. These circuits support your Constant Control Relay Module which operates your fuel pump module. You should be able to use the other 4 circuits which are high-lited in green. Your stock radio is tied into the 13-10 and 13-15 circuits. Notice that the Ford Manufacturer did not tie in your stock radio to the # 13-12 circuits. Many after market installers don't take the time to check which circuits they should or should not tap into, they simply take the feed from the most convenient 12 volt source. I'm still troubleshooting this matter, however, it is my gut feeling that by tapping into the #13-12 circuits, you are depriving your fuel pump system of the voltage it needs to operate properly. If fact, my son's fuel pump burnt out, and I'm quite sure it is because he had these after market companies who installed his after market deck player, video system and amps into these # 13-12 circuits, which lead to the demise of his fuel pump. So, don't take my word on this, because I'm still researching it, however, I recommend highly that you check it out for your self. Check out where the Ford Manufacturer has the stock radio and related equipment tied into. It won't be the # 13-12 circuits. For those who can't quite make out the colors of the wires for the # 13-12 circuits, they are the: Green/Yellow and the Red/Light Green. I have read numerous threads about people wondering why they have fuel pump related problems shortly after they had after market electronic equipment installed. I strongly believe this is why! Good luck and I hope this helps, Tommy.

when you are installing the alarm, depending on the year, the gem module likes to send out - pulses every so often. so be sure to diode isolate the brain from the pulses from the gem. and only allow - pulses from the doors for the alarm portion.
on the brain mounting location, there is a huge cavity behind/below the radio to mount your modules/relays. im trying to remember other hints to a mustang but im drawing a blank right now....
