Alarm help

Hello All. I have a 90 civic dx 2dr hb with manual transmission and I am installing an alarm system. I 've already done the basics (battery hook-up, ground) but I need some help locating some wires. Can someone please tell me where to find the:

on board dome light relay
door trigger (-, +) inputs and...
parking light outputs.

This will be of great help. Thanks ahead of time.

for the light switch just follow the wire from the switch I belive that is the white but don't quote me on that and the door pin I belive is green/red.:D

Thanks for the info rush. But I dont know where these are located. Could you tell me where to find the wire from the light switch, and the door pin.

THanks

take off the panel under the dash and there will be a bunch of wires. If you have a test probe locate the white wires and test them untill one becomes positive. but make sure that when you check the wire turn your dimmer switch and make sure that it does not chage at all.

As for the door pin. you should see a switch at the bottom of your door jamb. and take off you plastic panel that runs the length of the door jamb. under that there will be a group of wires. look for the green/red one and follow it.

:D

Thanks again. The white wire that I am locating, is it for the dome light? If not, what is it's purpose.

Thanks

Scott

that is for the parking lights

Actually you should be able to get all those at the fusebox in the little unused conections.

Hey audio head. You mean, I can get everything from the fuse box. That sounds Great. Which fuse box are we talking about though. Inside or under the hood. Also, what is the "little unused connections" you are talking about?

Thanks

Scott

UNDER the drivers dashto the left of steering column. Above the fuses there should be little places that look as if there should be wires plugged into them. If you can't find the plugs then find the wires going into the box. red/black for parking lights that is 12v trigger. And green/red for your dome and door trigger (same wire) that sees a ground when door is open(dome light is on) which is called - a negitive trigger

That was GREAT!!! I think I'm finally getting it. Everytime a new reply post, I go to my car to check it out. Anyways, does that mean that the "Negative Instant Trigger Input" wire, the "Dome light" wires, and the "Door trigger neg, and pos" wires, all gets attached to the green and red wires?

THanks

Scott

NO

what type of alarm do you have?

damn this shit sounds complicated ... im glad I had a shop do my alarm.

your light wire from the alarm (which is usually white) goes to the red with black wire. Then your door trigger and domelight supervision wire from the alarm should both go to the green and rad wire. I'm off to lunch so I'll be back in an hour or so.

Thanks audio head. I hope I'm not upsetting you with my lack of knowledge. I just want to be one of those guys who knows how to do things themselves. Any ways, I typed out the instructions that came with the alarm in the exact manner. Maybe you could get a better understanding of what I am dealing with here. By the way, it is a Eagle Eye 90902c model.

Thanks

Ok cut and tape off these wires cause you won’t be using them.
Orange
Gray
Blue (unless your doing a pinswitch under the hood)
Voilet
White with red

Ok then connect the green and one of the black/white wires to the green/red of your car
Then hook the white to the red/black of your car
Then hook the other black/white and also your black to a ground or screw it to metal
Brown to the positive of your siren(should be red)
The red should go to your ignition harness to a wire that shows 12v at ALL times
The yellow also goes to the ignition harness that shows 12v only when the key is in the on position
The brown loop (if you want starter interrupt) gets cut. At the ignition harness find a wire that is 12v only when the key is turned to the start position. Cut that wire also and hook one brown to one side and the other brown to the other side.

e-mail me if you need more info

Superb!!! That was really gret info. You really are a pro. I am going to try this as soon as I can. I will update you on my progress. Also, I would like to make a Do It Yourself guide specifically for the 90 civic hb. I hope it is o.k. If I use the info that you provided. Thanks a Bunch.

Scott

doing it long time now ;)

yeah i would be greatful!

Hello again. I still haven't tried to install it yet. I will do so in an hour or so. Before I do though, I cant seem to find the firewall. Can someone update me on its location.

Thanks

Scott

Hello again. I attempted to install the alarm last night and here are my results:

1.GRN+Blk/W to GRN+RED of car was unsuccessful.
2.WHT to RED+GRN of car was successful.
3.Blk/W+Blk to ground was successful.
4.BRN to (+) of siren was successful.
5.RD to W/Blk of Ignition (constant 12v) was successful.
6.Ylw to Blk/Ylw of Ignition (12v when in on position) was successful.
7.Cut Brown was successful
8.Brn to Blk/Wht of Ignition (12v when in start position) was successful.
9.Brown attached to each of cut ignition (start) wire was successful.

Summary
Thanks a lot for this little tutorial. I did exactly what was stated. The only problem was in the first step. I connected the wires accordingly but when I armed the alarm, I tested it by opening the driverside door. The dome light came on but the alarm did not go off. I tried switching the order of the b/w wires but that did not work though. Everything else works fine though. The shock sensor, head lights, ignition cut off and all. I just cant get the alarm to activate when a door is opened. If anyone knows how I can overcome this, please help.

Thanks

SCott

Disconnect both the black and whites and see if the alarm goes off when the door is open. leave the green attached. then get back to me

Thanks Audio Head. I did that on friday night and now the alarm works Great! I'm telling you. This is the cleanest installation I have ever done. Thanks everyone for your help, especially Audio Head. I think I'm gonna start writing the tutorial.

Thanks

Scott
