If the alarm red light on your radio is on even though you removed the add-on alarm years ago, it is possible that the alarm system is still active and causing a drain on your battery. Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:
Check the wiring: Make sure that all of the wiring related to the alarm system has been properly disconnected. It's possible that some wiring may have been missed when the alarm was removed, which could be causing the issue.
Check the fuse: The alarm system may have a dedicated fuse that is still active and causing a drain on the battery. Check the fuse panel for any fuses related to the alarm system and remove them if necessary.
Disconnect the battery: If you're unable to locate the cause of the issue, you may need to disconnect the battery to stop the drain. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures when disconnecting the battery.
If these steps do not fix the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with the alarm system itself or with another component of the car. In this case, it is recommended to have a mechanic or dealership technician diagnose and repair the issue.
Just unplug the wires from the system at the alarm itself. It' just plugs into the wiring harness. or cut the wire with a pair of dikes. Removing the fuse could disable something else also.
The system thinks you are trying to steal the car. The first thing a theif would probably do is disable the horn. The system has disabled your ignition to keep you from stealing the car. Do you have a car remote that you can use to disable the alarm?
Hello! There is a Hood Switch designed to operate the Alarm If the hood is opened when the car is locked with alarm set...The Hood Switch is affected by heat from the engine plus the ambient temperature...The wire colors on the two pin switch connector are...Black/Pink and Black...Replace the switch OR clip a wire across those two pins which tells the system the switch is permanently closed...If this doesn't work, try disconnecting the connector which leaves the switch permanently open...I believe if you short out the switch the system won't know and the trouble will be removed...Guru...saailer
Unless you have the Alarm built into the vehicle you can disable the ignition inhibitor by removing the power wire from the alarm unit or in many cases by removing the in-line fuse from the alarm unit. That will cut the signal from the alarm unit that tells the installed Anti Start device from activating.
If it's a cheap aftermarket alarm, check for a red wire coming off the hot side of your battery with an inline fuse. If it's not, try to locate the alarm "computer" under the driver's side dash or nearby your fuse panel. You'll find a black box with a wiring diagram glued to the side, normally strapped to a wiring harness or other fixed element. If this is the type of alarm you have, you'll need to trace each wire coming from the alarm computer and unclip each fastener that's clipped to your vehicle's factory wiring. The trouble with these types of alarms is that they can get power from a number of sources (stereo, interior lights, etc.). Good luck with this one!
