Remote Start Alarm Installation


Recommended Posts

Well I finally got the alarm system installed and working, I've done a few in the past but I learned that the GL is unique to all other installs I have done in the past in more ways than one ;)

Features I installed are :

 

Remote Start

Hood Pin

Trunk Pin

Dome Light Illumination

Battery Backup Siren

Starter Kill

Dual Zone Shock Sensor

 

As you can see it was a wiring mess of connections, but in the end it turned out ok, I have a few more small things to address.

 

I have a few questions regarding interfacing the power door locks into the alarm. After inspecting the power door lock system it seems that I will need to purchase an aftermarket door lock actuator in order to interface the power door locks to my alarm system so I can lock and unlock the doors upon disarm/arming the system? Is this correct, or is there an easier way?

 

Also I need to know if anymore knows where to tap into the door trigger wire. I tried soldering a wire on the drivers side door trigger in the door jam but it only sounds the alarm if that door is opened, not any of the others :rolleyes:

 

Also if anyone has any questions about the remote start part of it I would be glad to help out in other people's installs.

I used the wire that turns the inside light on when a door is opened.

where is this wire located and what color is it if you remember?

 

I did it on an ea81, so it will be different.

My wiring diagram for an 87 shows a switched earth wire coming out of the instrument cluster. Its colour is Black/Red. It then has a connector (no idea where) where it changes to Black, this runs all the way to the light.
