Alarm trigger wire was unplugged

[paulr33]

Hey All,

I was doing some research for my stalling problem (getting service done tuesday to fix it) and some people suggested loose wires near the ECU under the kick panel. I checked out mine, the kick panel is the panel above the brake/accel/clutch yeah?

I found a loose wire and the place where it was supposed to go, so I connected it up and the alarm went off instantly (door was open). I then started up the engine and it went off. It all seems fine now.

Had someone disabled the trigger wire for the siren and alert or possibly come loose? its a white opaque double ended clip with two small holes, and two red wires that come from behind the firewall connect to it with metal insert clips...

Has anyone else had any simular occurances? Am I ok to keep this wire connected?

Some alarm systems have a system over-ride wire that runs out of the black box so if there is a malfunction all you have to do is earth it and it bypasses all the immobilisers etc. Some installers wire it up to a hidden switch, others just leave it disconnected. Personally I think they are a security risk.
