You can do this but please note that if the alarm goes off and is not disactivated then it is possible that it will run down your battery. Also, have you looked up under the dash to determine yourself what type of unit you have? Sometimes it's very easy to find the alarm box and read the make and model on it. Be sure to get all info off the box because you never know which is actually the model number. If it's not too old then you may be able to find the install info on the manufacturer's web site. This was how I "cleaned up" all the wiring on the alarm when I bought my car. My alarm was newer though. shiraz #2860 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Scott Mueller" <scott.a.mueller@xxxx> wrote: > Disconnect the alarm siren or bell.
