alarm installation inquiry:

[racerx]

Ok, this kit has the alarm, remote lock/unlock, and remote start.

I've hooked up the system to the lock and unlock wires, and now as I look at the diagram, I notice that I now need to hook up 2 wires to a (+) and (-) "Door Pin Switch".

What is this, and where is it located? Which wire(s) is (+) and which is (-).

Also, I don't suppose I could actually use the remote trunk release without an actuator, eh?

If the door pin switch is to see if any door opens then use the dome light and yeah you are going to have to get a actuator for the trunk but its worth it.
Heres the link to the solenoid that I bought. I only had to drill one hole and i didn't use the bracket that came with it I used two hose clamps instead.

I'm having problems "tricking" the system into thinking that the trunk is closed. Should I just feed a positive charge into the trunk wire, or maybe ground it, or what?
the remote keeps saying that the trunk is open... actually, this whole thing is fucked up, but I'm trying to solve one problem at a time...

[TJ89Accord]

Why does it think the trunk is open?

[racerx]

yeah, but i found out now that it's just in a disarmed mode.
now i can't get it to arm, or the siren to go off, or anything...

[TJ89Accord]

In valet mode? Usually just put the key in, turn it to ignition and hold the valet button, or flip the switch. Is the LED solid all the time?

Hey what brand / model is it? That would help a little more.

this is an alpha guards ag-95s. supposed to be one of their best models...
Anyway, I'm going to take it to a shop and see if they can't figure the d^&*ed thing out. I've had my wiring checked by my dad, and also by one of my neighbors who is pretty much a genious. (my friend's dad).
Both agree that I have the right setup, and everything SHOULD work... but doesn't.

The only thing they can say about the door locks is the possibility that the wire taps I'm using aren't connecting right, so I'm going to take them off and solder them together. Also, they think that the wire that's supposed to sense the oil light is loose and that would explain why none of my dummy lights are working...
So I've got to check that too...

But then I'm just taking it to "Drive-In Auto Sound". We'll see what they say.

Also, the guy who sold me this POS is not responding to any of my e-mails. There's a warranty with this item, but there is NO CONTACT INFORMATION!!! Anyway, I'm really pissed. It's been days since I've heard from this f-er.

Therefore, my best advice to everyone out there is:
DON'T BUY AN ALPHA GUARDS SYSTEM!
and more importantly, DON'T BUY FROM www.worldwide-export.com !!!!

ALARM PROBLEMS SUCK!!!!!

[racerx]

i completely agree. well thank god the guy told the manufacturer about the problem and they're supposedly going to get into contact with me.

do you think they'll compensate for some of the money spent on attempting to install it?
