alarm help!! please!

Post by ugaucin »

So I have an auto page alarm and the other day I change all the blubs in my dash board to green LEDs. When I tried my alarm with the remote it no longer works. No clue what happened! Please help!

A guess is that you need to reprogram your remote because the receiver "lost" its memory.

Do you have the instructions or any contact with the installer?

Try and find the Alarm ground and check that.

First thing I tried. Alarm doesn't do anything.

As a person who installs alarms, I know there are a bunch of wires, but not as much as you think. there should be about 5-7 wires that are wired to your "key" What I actually mean is there are about 5-7 wires tapped into your Ignition plug (This is probably is you have remote start or some sort of ignition kill option on the alarm.) These are fairly big wires, probably 10 gauge. Then there are probably another 10-14 smaller wires, probably 14 gauge, that wire into everything else, parking lights, door locks, tach, brake lights, etc..... So honestly don't be intimidated by "alot of wires"

I'm guessing you may have messed up a wire, If the alarm doesn't respond at all, I'm leaning on the ground or the +12v

Do you have the model number of your alarm? If you get the model number, you can search for a diagram online and know which wire is the ground and +12v and then find the alarm under the dash and trace the wires.
