hope someone on here can help, as i got some fitted just stuck on few points left.




for centrel locking in the alarm manual it has 4 diffrent types, possative trigger/posative negative trigger/ im pretty sure its possative type ( picture 3 possative trigger) but in diagram it has lock and unlock wires which ive found ok, but theres 2 other wires in alarm manual for centrel locking im not sure where these 2 alarm wire for centrel locking connect to 12v? they are labled as "no" ( yellow/yellow-black)


heres the alarm diagram below



anyone please help.

thanks

Yellow and Yellow / Black are connected together and go to +12v. I normally go to the fuse for the central locking, or to one of the connections on the bottom of the fusebox where the main power supplies come in and install a fuse of 20A (30A if 5-door).

The white and white / black wires go to the central locking respectively.

The other 2 wires are taped up out of the way so they do not touch anything as they are not used on this installation.

any idewas which are the acc. start, and on postions on the mk6 ignition?

iansoutham

Generally, yellow wire is acc, black / yellow is ign and black / blue is crank.

If in doubt, get a 21W bulb with connections, place 1 side to earth (in key hole) and other to wires. Turn ignition on and see when bulb lights up.

Easier to see than a multi-meter.

ok i still have not managed to find coil and starter wires that need to connect to alarm relays.

is there any way just to bypass them guys?

whats happerning alarms working ok arms etc, i get ignition lights, but the car wont crank over when i turn key?

heres a picture of the 2 wires from relays thats currently not connected.

The reason the car will not turn over when you crank it is because the original alarm is kicking in. Check the LED in the clock and see if is flashing quickly. If it is, close all the doors and unlock both front doors one at a time manually with the key in the lock. DO NOT lock it again using the key. You may have tapped into a deadlocking wire (if fitted) instead of the lock wire. That will activate the original alarm also.

You do not need to bypass the alarm wires. Quite simple. Follow 4-lead loom from ignition switch to the fusebox. It is a square multi-plug which goes on the left side of the fusebox.

The wires you need are there for connecting to.

ok cheers mate them ignition wires on 4 pin plug are

red-permant+12v
yellow-pos1 +12v(radio on only)
black-pos2 +12v (ign lights on)
black/blue-crank+12v

any ideas which wires above i should connect the ignition coil wire on alarm relay too and also starter relay wire on alarm relay from ignition wires above?

thankyou

iansoutham

Black is to coil supply. Black / Blue is starter.

ok thanks mate, so i just connect directly where the 4 pin plug connects to fuse board.

Cut and join the wires accoringly. ONLY solder though. If these wires have a bad connection, you WILL get problems with the car.
