'88 Factory or Dealer Alarm? - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I have an alarm/ remote door lock system in a '88 I roc. was there a factory installed alarm in '88?
Is it a possible dealer installed system with the Chevy logo on the key pad?
I need to buy a new key pad. I think that the alarm may be causing my fuel pump not to recieve a 12 volt signal from the ECM. I some times need to put 12 voltsl to the tan/white wire at the relay just to start the car.

If you are referring to something that looks like this, it was a dealer installed item and not a factory installed option.

Actually, I found the main alarm system by the Steering Colunm . The "GM security System" decal was visible. the only difference is that the alarm works from a remote keypad. Can I still purchase and program this remote unit? Is there a universal that will also work?

Hey, biggd,

Since the above posts are five years old or so, you might repost your question. BTW, welcome to TGO.

If any alarm system is over 20yrs old my opinion is replace it. No parts will be available and it would be better to install a new system. That is the route I went with my 22yr old Viper system.
