Default fao people with cat1 alarms etc

could someone see if they have a wire that goes from their alarm to the fuel pump area of the car coz i found a black wire not goin to anything that is perfect length to the hole under the back seat where the wiring feeds through to the pump under the car. i havent started this car yet as im building it up so im wondering if its the fuel cut off wire for the alarm

any help would be great with this

There will be surplus wires on the alarm not being used. Do you actually know what the wire is for on the alarm?

The wires won't necessarily run to the pump, they are better when the wires are in non-accessible places, like up behind the dash.

Easiest way is to try and start the car with the immobiliser armed, if the pump doesn't run then you know its in the immobiliser
