got an alarm system from a friend no instructions. HELP!

ok so i got a non used alarm system from a friend for getting him some stuff for free and the person he had bought it from couldnt find the instructions. there is no box he threw it away because it got wet. so all i have is the system. what i can see is that it is a Hitech HT-455 the number on the side is QNMWA168. there is another number on its side reading 354253 i dont know what thats for. the system includes two remotes a shock sensor, main box, led light, and relay. i have searched everywhere for this and can find bits a peices so im hoping that someone has the manual for this thing. HELP!!!!!

I tried to do a search on the web for you, it came back as something you could have bought on ebay for $45 new......do yourself a favor and get a good alarm with instructions.

I couldn't find anything but people complaining how sucky the alarm is.

I understand, here's what you can do if you can't find the instructions. Most alarms follow a certain color scheme like car head units.

I'll give the colors off my Excalibur alarm and hope they match. If they don't worst you'll do is burn up a free alarm. I would wait a week or so before you do this in case someone chimes in with the diagram.

I've been doing car audio since 1989 and all the alarms I have installed follow these colors. This diagram would be better than nothing.

ok well i made a schematic showing what the wires were and what harness they came on but i cant get the paint file to load on here so ill try and describe it. you have the usual led, sensor, and horn connectors. then you have two big harnesses. on the first harness there and as follows: black, red with fuse, white with fuse, another white with fuse, black with white stripe, white with blue stripe, green with black stripe, red with white stripe. on the second big harness you have as follows: brown, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, red with black stripe. now on the second harness the yellow and orange wire goes to a relay which has two big yellow wires and one small yellow wire coming from it. i hope that helps a little.
