i looked behind the drivers side kick panel. i found one pair of wires, twisted around each other. they come out of a wire harness leading up from that metal "pocket" behind the kick panel. they might link up with the wiring coming out of the door, i couldn't tell yet.
the twisted wires are a single blue and white wire. they don't look oem. its just cut and hanging there. i also felt the stem of cut wires behind the fuse panel. i guess ill take the mounting screws out of the fuse panel and get a look at them.
its so cramped in there with the seat installed. i couldn't really get that good of a look. does this help anyone who knows how alarms are installed?

my last alarm I didnt need a relay and am not really sure why. It may have been something built into the alarm unit but I hooked the wires from the unit directly to the door lock system and they worked fine. the new system I am getting the guy is making the relays for me so I assume it isnt as compatible as my last one.
i have manual locks right now. i want the power back.
it would be alot easier to mend this, if there was never an alarm. i think i'll run by that shop again tomorrow. tell them it had an alarm, and he should know right where to go from there.
Since it's my thing, I've put keyless entry and remote start on all of my vehicles. (except cobra... waiting on funds....) I don't even remember how to unlock a door with a key!instead of paying $200 for him to re-wire the locks, i put that money and some extra towards a nice alarm.
they are gonna clean up the ****storm the old alarm left behind, and install my new stuff tomorrow after work. the actuators work fine, so my keyless will work. i figured why spend a bunch of money just so i dont reach across the car ocassionally to open the door? i want the convenience of keyless and nothing else really.
Stick with the best alarm Clifford.
Hmmm, Your trunk release shouldnt have to reverse polarity like the locks, as it only moves one way, a posative pulse on the correct wire will activate it, however most alarms don't come with configureable aux relays built in, so you'll still need a relay. As far as Cliffords, They are now made by DEI as you mentioned. All of DEI's stuff is good (Clifford, Viper, Hornet, Wasp, Valet, etc.) The features you are looking for will determine what sub- brand and model you choose. I believe DEI bought out the original Clifford company around 2000, However old school cliffords were cutting edge in their time, they were a verry innovative company. I've got a Viper 800esp on my '93 with a 530t window control module, 508d Proximity sensor, battery back up, and a 551r remote start. Those ol' 800's are pretty sweet, they were the best viper out when I bought it, kind of expensive, but had almost all of the necessary relays built in and the configuration is almost infinantly flexible. Cant find the ol 800's very easily any more. But mine's been flawless for almost 10yrs now!it was a clifford and didnt require relays. I stick with DEI stuff. Python is the one I am putting in now and the relays are needed in this one. Expecially to reverse the polarity on the trunk release.
Good to hear!!! Next step, remote start?had the new alarm installed today. doors are now keyless entry. problem solved basically for me.
