Your is easy,but there are 2 types they used in this year,do you have factory alarm or aftermarket, If its factory you will need a toothpick,if its aftermarket you will need to cancel the relay.let me know what you have. If you have one of the factory alarm the activation and deactivation is the door lock and unlock,it only disables the starter, go to the starter relay take it apart, when this relay collapse it engages the starter,with a key or without a key, stick the tooth pick in there so the relay is always closed.Go to the vehicle start it up.You defeated the alarm,With this type you need to becareful you have two different types I only gave you the easy one, if this is a manual transmission and you collapse the starter relay and the key is on away the car goes without you,so care need to be taken dont just do this without some with you put someone in the car stepping on the brake wheel block e brake on you not standing in the front and vehicle not in gear.becareful
There is definately a wiring reconect issue here. I would say that most likely you have the positive and negative connections at the starter solenoid reversed.
Hello, The red wire is the starter wire, this is the main wire that connects to your starter switch to tell the relay to turn over that starts your car, the other wires are the ingnition wires, these wires is what allows the vehicle to turn on (lights, radio, engine,) What it sounds like he did when he removed the alarm module was disconnect the power wire that supplys the starter switch. Try tracing the wire back to where it is connected and see if there is any wire cut the same way as the other end. try connecting a a remote starter switch from the battery directly to the starter solenoid. this will allow you to see if the wiring inside the car is disconnected or if it is the starter.
starter relay is in power distribution center near battery. don't know which engine you have, but if you flollow the positive cable on the battery, it will lead you to the starter. Most are not difficult to replace, depends on how much experience you have. One tip...dont overtighten wire connections on starter the solenoid cover is plastic and can break.
you need to source either the repair manual for them or just the ignition wiring diagram and wire colour legend for the 1980 and 1985 alfa spider to see if wire colours are different

at the minimum there should be two power wires in with start and accessories an earth not sure if a starter relay was used in the 85
sure, but morel ikely you have a short (partial short) in the main wire to the starter. I believe those have a fusable link someone inline on the battery wire to the starter. find that fusable link and replace it that should clear up the lose in voltage problem you appear to be having.
As for a relay, the relay shouldn't be much more then a few 20-30 bucks and it is good practice to replace the relay when replacing the starter anyway.
large wire off starter will go to positve battery, the small yellow/red wire should go to the starter solenoid, and the battery should be hooked up like a nornal setup please rate -jeff
