2006 honda civic, alarm

These newer civics are tougher than previous years... It rained off and on today so i didnt get to finish like i wanted to. I have door locks, door triggers, 2 sirens, and do a little programming in the brain still...

I CANNOT find the door lock wires to save my life...can anyone give some hints as to where to look? I really dont want to go behind the fuse box to get to that Multiplex Control Unit. Im trying to avoid that control unit at all costs. The wiring diagrams ive looked at says they are in the driver kick panel...Ive looked and cannot find them. HELP please, theres a really big harness which i think they are in but didnt look, but its pretty tight area to work in if you got big hands. Door locks slowed me down alot as i got discouraged/ frustrated

Door triggers should not be a problem at all i just got to get some dioides

As far as the siren under neath the hood, I have no clue where im going to put it, damn these newer civics have a really small engine bay...grrrrr. Need help/ ideas for this too...

Firewall pass through is tough. Couldnt find a grommet, and I also dont like to drill in the firewall. I ran my tach, and siren wires around the door jam but etched a little notch in the metal where the weather stripping goes, put electrical tape around the wires so they wouldnt pinch. I put the wires in the notch, then over lapped the weather stripping and routed the wires away from the door hinge and through a crack in the fender to the engine bay. Then used wire loom over those wires. ( I was desperate and feeling fatigued due to the 85 degree heat outside). Going to keep an eye on this method and see how it holds up. If it doesnt work out i might have to try that firewall grommet location that tedmond posted above

Tach is hooked up, remote start is working. The siren wire is loomed up just chillin in the engine bay until i figure out where the hell im going to put the siren.

Thats basically it, everything else was cake besides hiding the brain and the immobilizer...that took some time because i wanted to hide it/ secure it pretty good.

Oh yea as far as the immobilzer, i used an 05 civic immobilizer. i believe it was a 556uw, or 556hw... cant remember

The siren. I had issue with mine as well. On the passenger side, up front next to the radiator.

The door locks blow hard. I dropped the fuse box down in order to help reach the plug that goes thru the door boot.

Lock, unlock, arm, and disarm are in THAT plug.

Alpine PXE-H650, PDX5, Morel Hybrid Ovation 6, and I haven't decided on woof yet it will be a single 10.

Bchillin, i think the 556u are PITA to use. i only use Fortin Honda-SL3 for Honda and acuras and Idatalink or Key-Overideall by fortin for other vehicles. using th efortin piece, never seen problems. just another note, did you use a relay to power both the sirens? some may agree or disagree with me, but i like to take extra precautions as always.

Siren outputs (+) are often rated for less than 3 amps. Im sure a siren doesnt draw that much current but you can never be too safe. I suggest you use a relay and power BOTH sirens that way you eliminate the chance of burning that output.

85 - siren wire from main unit.

like i said, its not needed, but rather be safe than sorry. just my 2 cents :)

Advice on dropping the fuse box? I removed the bolt up top on the right and the fuse box has a plastic clip that goes into the metal fuse box mounting bracket, that was taken out too. I was only able to drop the fuse box about an inch or two. Those two plugs on the back of the fuse box at the Multiplex Control Unit hit the metal fuse box cross bar on the back, so i could only lower it so much because the two plugs are ran through an opening of the metal fuse box mounting bracket on the back.

Did you remove all harnesses in the fuse box so you were able to drop it?

I found 2 pictures in the 07 civic wiring diagram. In this picture there is a harness and below is two other harnesses with a cover...can i grab them there?

Another picture, but i read they were up higher... true?

When my cousin stops by this week ill have take another stab at door locks... my hand is all cut up from yesterday :(

Did you drop the fuse box?
