Basic alarm install question (polarity)

[Brennan]

Hey guys,

89 Accord LX-i here. I'm trying to install a basic alarm. I got it cheaply so nothing special, annnnnd no instructions in the box. I think I found the correct wiring for it here:

hxxp://scytek.net/manuals/precision/p10.pdf

(Page 10 has the wiring)

I got it mainly for the door lock / unlock, and before I tear everything apart I want to make sure it'll work. I know that my car has Negative polarity on the lock/unlock wiring. The alarm has that as well. Does that mean that it will work if I connect the wires?

I guess I could check with a meter, but I'm not gonna lie, still teaching myself electronics. Hence why I'm installing my own alarm.

Thanks guys, as always any help is appreciated!

According to both alarm and factory wiring manual, you should connect both

Green - Lock Out (-) to the Green/White wire from the control box/door lock switch
Blue - Unlock Out (-) to the Green/Red wire from the control box/door lock switch

But then I don't own a 3g and I am basing these from the factory service manual for 3g Accord. This might help you out tho!

Hey Hazwan, seen you around a fair amount, thanks for replying!

So I ended up just going at it cause, well, my weekdays don't allow me time to do this stuff and it was Sunday. Turns out that just connecting (splicing in) the alarm negative wires for lock / unlock to the wires behind the drivers side kick panel did it! I now have a wonderful keyless entry system that locks / unlocks.

Next up is the alarm portion if I can figure out how to connect it to the factory horn...I'm always up for a challenge.
