Help needed with alarm install Options

[djseven]

I need to know how to ground negative. I have 1 black wire to ground it, but where do I stick this to? Also, I need to connect the alarm to my battery. Where can I run the wire to the battery? Can I pull it through the firewall where the cable from the climate control goes?

The whole body of the Celica is grounded, so you can ground the negative to the body of the vehicle anywhere.

From Crutchfield's site:
"Use a star washer when connecting wires to chassis ground, and scrape away any paint or grime that might prevent a good connection to the bare metal and then cover the ground with silicon. If possible, connect ground wires beneath an existing nut and bolt. If a nut and bolt aren't available, use a #10 machine screw with a lock washer. "

You can run the + through the firewall.

PS, a google search came up with the following...

thx jerimiah! i also found those 2 links u mentioned.

i also have probs with the powerlocks. my manual says things like

nc----orange
com---white
no----yellow
etc etc etc

meaning...i have in total of 6wires to connect for the powerlock/unlock. what does all those nc, com and no means?

[estaticd]

nc----orange
com---white
no----yellow

NC no connection
COM common/ground?
no ?

There should only be two wires coming from your alarm (both lock and unlock are negative triggered) going to the lock module under the steering column on the right.

Read your install manual closer.

If you want to use a two-stage unlock (unlock driver then passenger door by pressing remote unlock button twice) there would be three wires.

to be honest...i dont understand most of the manual. so far i have connected acc, on1, on2, start, constant +12v. i still need to connect the battery, horn and powerlocks.

this alarmcomes with a horn, but in the manual says theres only 1 pink wire going to the horn. the horn itself has 2 wires and as far as i know all speakers, headphones, horns etc etc needs 2 wires to make it work

remote start is also a function, but the manual says it can only be installed if the vehicle has stepless gear...stepless gear as automatic/manual gear????

help!

i forgot 1 thing....theres also a relay for the high oil pressure...is there any need for this??

Horn has a black and red likely. Pink goes to red, black goes to ground, usually a self-taping screw with star nut screwed into the firewall or other metal in the engine compartment.

Stepless gear... Pretty sure that means automatics only. It can be installed into a manual, but you will need to read up on it.

Oil pressure probably for remote start.

What alarm is this?

[djseven]

a million thx ecstaticd!!!

it says remote start is only for stepless gear...so it shudnt b suitable for me as i have manual gear.

i bought this alarm from ebay, "ultimate auto"

there are 2brown wires for the turn signals. can i connect them both to the dimmer (darkgreen)?

Probably one is positive, the other is negative.

Parking Lights+ dk. green at dimmer
Parking Lights- lt. green steering column

[djseven]

ive been working on this alarm for a few hrs now...didnt do much actually. just run the wire through the firewall hahaha.

the turnlights...can i connect it to the hazard harnass? cus i also saw a light green wire. the dark green wire shud be the same as the 1 from the dimmer right?

yo guys i need ur help! ive scanned the install guide. sorry, i cant resize it cus im using another pc and i dunno how 2 work with paint!

so far, i tried to connect the 2 brown wires to the dim light and green wire in the steering column but then my fused burned out. i checked it with a multimeter and both ways i get a signal.
powerlock: i have a few diagram to choose from, but none of those diagrams looks logical to me hahaha...sorry im not a mechanic

also...wheres the dynamo output wire...i need 2 connect the purple wire to it so the electric motor stop when i use remote start. cus somehow when i connect the harnass to the mainbox, my engine starts...even without key!

Install guide2


btw...the brake wire...it shud be near the brakepedal...maybe im blind.....help

[Hanyo]

you have an overly complicated alarm system. Its quiet stupidly layed out. But I think i figured it out.

First, do you have a mulitmeter to measure what reading each wire does?

I think you need to connect the 6 wires like this:

orange: ground
orange/black: ground
white: car's wiring of unlock/lock
white/black: cars's wiring of unlock/lock


NOW BEFORE YOU GO AND CONNECT ANY OF THESE WIRES!!!! you will need to test them out. do this by:
1) connecting the orange wireS to the grounds. and then
2)connect a multimeter to one of the white wires.
3) set the multimter to OHMS settings.
4) use remote to unlock/lock the door.
5) notice the reading. The meter should flicker.
* if not then i messed up on reading your chart.
6) post on the forums of your results.

[djseven]

Thx hanyo!!! I'll try this the first thing in the morning! i'll double check all wires with the multimeter and after that i post if it succeeded or not! thx again mate!

[djseven]

I havent been able to do anything today. But ive been thinking in the meanwhile (and its hurts )....since when i connect a small harnass to the main unit the engine starts and the electric motor never stops with rotating...i must have connect something wrong. but there are stickers on those wires (start, on1, on2, acc ect etc) and as far as im concerned everything shud be ok...so canplease some help me outwith this. which wire to what!

[Hanyo]

you need to read your manual to determine the engine crank duration. Jumpers maybe? I don't have your whole manual so i cant tell you specifics.

Did you hook up the purple wire to the spark plug cable?

i think that is your alarms way to tell if the engine has started or not.

[lubu]

for ur central lock you need to choose layout two...negative trigger.

basically connect yellow+yellow/black to ground
white and white black to ur central locking module...which locates below the steering wheel.

the two brown wires...i dont know if ur car is same as mine but i need to use two relays to make it work...you might need them too.

the brake wire is near the brake...from the brake looking up you will see that when you press the pedal you release the switch, make sure you have the correct wire.

cant help you much with remote start coz i havent come pass it.

[djseven]

Thx alot again hanyo and lubu!

basically, these 2 pages is all they explain!!! I havent connected the purple wire yet cus i dunno where to connect to! I'll try a sparkplug like hanyo says.

Lubu: powerunlock: white connect blue and white/black with blue/black?

Quote:
"Power Lock Blue/Back - Lock Module right of column
Power Unlock Blue and Green *1 - Lock Module right of column"

How do i connect the 2 relays to "Parking Lights + Dk. Green At Dimmer
Parking Lights - Lt. Green Steering Column"?

Im sorry guys! im really a noob with all this wiring! so please forgive me for my noobness!

[djseven]

im drinking a few beers and ive been looking at the diagram...cud it be like this...

orange & orange/black-ground
white & white/black - powerlock/unlock
yellow *yellow/black - constant +12volt

and still i dunno which wire to connect to the power lock/unlock

[lubu]

yea the lock/unlock wires go to the module...

get 2 relays...lets cal them r1 and r2

connect 87(r1) to 87(r2) to constant +
connect 85(r1) to 86(r2) and both to ground
connect the browns wires to 86(r1) and 85(r2)
finally connect 30(r1) and 30(r2) to the parking wires..

edit: you dont need to connect the orange&orange/black to ground, just leave them
yellow *yellow/black - not to constant +12volt but to ground
white&white/black - to lock/unlock
