| | Re: alarm problems They don't come with alarms as standard so as cc1 says, find and remove the fuse to disable it and then find out what make/model it is and search for a user manual (google). |

| | Re: alarm problems You'll probably have to trace the wires back because of it being aftermarket it could be anywhere. I'd expect an in line fuse to be there or for it to share a fuse with something else

Posts: 21,701 Thanks: 1069 Blog Entries: 3 Trader Rating: 1 | Re: alarm problems It all depends on who installed the alarm and how sensible they were thinking. If the alarm can be switched off by simply removing a fuse, then if they were thinking straight, the fuse will be well hidden. I would be tempted to download the wiring diagram and remove all the alarm wiring and reinstate the original, unless you can quickly get a handle on how its been wired. Cheers D
