alarm indicator

i got this really easy to install alarm indictator it has a ground, positive, and a acc wire.....it flashes wen ur car is off and shuts off when ur car is on....i have a 2000 cavalier and i was wondering where a good place i could splice these wires into and where i could mount it...its just a little led. thanks for ur help

I got an even easier one-a blinking LED from Radio Shack. It uses almost no current and it flashes all the time.

To connect yours (I'm surprised they didn't give ya a schematic diagram with it), connect ground to any screw that connects to the BODY of the car under the dash or just inside a door frame by the pin switch if ya don't wanna drill an extra hole-connect power to any terminal on the fuse block that has power ALL the time and the ACC lead to any terminal on the fuse block that only has power when the key is on. (IGN/ACC terminal).
I assume this is a current sensing LED.

ya i was thinking about wireing it into the lighter is there an acc wire down there

Nope, I wouldn't do that if I was you.
Use your fuse block terminals-get some plug-in connectors-they're cheap enuf and run you some wires and put fuse holders in the hot wires so when your heater unravels your electrical tape and shorts one out-ya won't burn ya car down.
Run the POWER lead to the BATT terminal on your fuse block-it's the one that's hot all the time-use a voltmeter or make a test light to find it-connect one end of the test light to a good ground and feel around the unused terminals on your fuse block to find one that lights up the light when the key is OFF.
That's your POWER connection.
Then turn the key on and feel around those empty terminals again til you find one that lights the light AND goes OFF when you turn the key off.
Then connect your ground lead to any metal part of the car's body under or around the dash area.
Where the parking brake release mounts or where a trim piece mounts to metal is good enough.
Just please-PLEASE use a fuse in your hot leads.
Too many impatient people burn their cars to the ground because they didn't bother with fuses and then kicked or chafed the wire and the next thing they know the dashboard is melting into their laps as blinded by acrid smoke, they try to scramble out of a burning car. Fuses keep that scenario from happening. Wire shorts out/fuse blows/current flow stops/find cause of short circuit/fix it/replace fuse/good to go.

i dont know wat those are and i dont understand ur explaination on the scc wire

i found a fuse on the inside of my driver door that is called "15a pwr/acc " i think that is the right one now do i loook for the wires that goto that fuse
