how do you guys wire up the "ground when armed" out put on an alarm.
This is the very common orange wire on alarm. When the alarm is armed this wire will ground itself, so it is designed to operate a relay. But doesn't that mean it will have parasitic drain on a battery the entire time the car is off? Is there a way to wire up the relay so it is on when the alarm is "disarmed" so it will only draw power when the car is running. |

What are you trying to do here?
Youll need to run a relay that runs (-) when the ignition is seeing 12v. Id just bypass the ground when armed, unless you NEED to use it? |
