well, i purchased a stand alone Remote Keyless Entry System off of <A HREF=http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=433935768 A> ebay.</A>

I haven't received it yet but does anyone have any tips for installing?

My 96 SE did not come with the security and convenience package

 

It will be hard because you are not replacing an original system. How high tech is this one off of ebay?

 

i don't know. i will the group know when i get it

 

i think i'm in over my head. the instructions are a little vague. here is the wiring diagram below. do i have to disassemble the dash or can i reach the wiring from underneath.

you gotta taake the bracket that holds the factory wiring harness off so the module drops and all wires become accesaible.. the wires by your fuse box under the dash.. it's not too hard. just really time consuming

 

how do i know which wires are which. do i need to get one of those service manuals? i was thinking about subscribing to ALLDATA. will start another thread on that.

 

a local stereo shop, start up a boring conversation wiht them, get all good with them, and say "hey can you do me a favor by printing me out a wiring code from clifford?" and usually if they are in a good mood they will.. or of course u can look it up on a web.

 

Hey Adam...

I bought the exact same Crimestopper unit for my 95 SE.
It was a little challenging, but I got the thing working flawlessly.
The trick to this install is to tap directly into the driver's switch cluster, and let the door lock unit close the circuit as if you were hitting the lock switch manually.
If you use the pulse method that this alarm comes with, the locks will malfunction in the extreme cold/heat.

I believe that I read about this on another Max page (I don't remember which one).

If you need any tips/advice, let me know. I'll be glad to help.

 

that's great incentive. At least i know i got a good unit. any idea where on the net i could find the wiring diagrams?

 

I didn't use any wiring schematics...
The one in the back of the Haynes manual was about useless.
Not only that, but the wiring you have to do is inside the switch cluster, and even the factory manual doesn't cover internal schematics....

I'll take a pic of the outside of my "rigging", and post it here later if I have the time.

 

that would be a great help. i really appreciate that.

thanks again!
