car alarm install
I tried posting this in the electronics forum, but I got no replies.
I have been trying to install an alarm on my Camaro and have messed up the power locks. The relay pack that the alarm came with is actually 2 relays with 5 wires coming out of it. I have cut up my existing harness at the factory relay connector, and when I connected the battery neither the locks worked, and the alarm relay pack got hot, and the driver's side switch melted. Help me figure out where these wires are supposed to go. I feel like the biggest idiot for cutting first.
Edit: Here's what is on the alarm relay pack
3 pin harness
- lock input
+ input for relay coils
- unlock input
5 wire harness
lock/unlock normally open #87
lock output #30
lock normally closed 87A
unlock output #30
unlock normally closed 87A

I don't know squat about alarms, but I used to be in the software support business. So, my advise is to call the manufacturers tech support line.

I figured it out, I ended up not needing that stupid relay pack. It took me forever to figure that out.

There should be a 3-wire harness that comes out of the "relay" with the 3 colors being blue, red, and green. Cut off these 3 wires near the relay cuz you will not need the actual relay for our cars. You will need to connect blue to - unlock and green to -lock, disregard the red wire. That's it!
----------
For remote start on our cars you need a special module to bypass the VATS system... you can go to any Best Buy, Circuit City, mom&pop shop and they can sell/order the part for you there.
