Hiya all,

I have an alarm on my Alfa - and it has wires going literally everywhere. Are there any rules regarding it's removal. I'm guessing one can't just cut all the wires and rip it out!!!! Laughing

Really must look at which make/model it is.

Bob

For starters it depends whether it is just an alarm or an alarm with an immobiliser.

alarm or immob they tend to "break" the wires and then make the circuit thro the alarm box.
i have taken em out but it takes time to restore everything the fitter cut into...

Mark,

That's what I thought someone was going to say.

Bob,
If your alarm has an immobiliser the only wires you need to worry about are the two (normally) that cut the feed to the starter motor. Basically there will be two wires going to the feed and this just breaks current when the alarm is armed. It's just a case of reconnecting the original wire back together. The rest of them can be left in place or if your feeling house proud, traced back and snipped off ( be careful not to leave any bare wire that could short out)
