code alarm srt 9000 on 01 malibu

Hello everyone,

This is my first post.  I am currently in the middle of my first alarm/RS install.  The car is an 01 chevy malibu and I am tring to install a Code Alarm SRT 9000.  I have some problems/questions if any one could help I would appreciate it. 

1. I used the wiring diagram on this site which was very helpful but i still cannot find the dome supervision.  It says it is a white wire in column/dashlight.  Does this mean steering column or a door column or which dashlight?  Can anyone tell me specifically where it is? 

2. My second problem is my door lock relay.  The car has a negative lock and unlock with a 1.5k resistor on unlock side.  I wired the relays up according to the manual for "one wire negative multiplex" .  The doors will unlock but not lock.  My lock output is going to 86, 87 to ground, 85 to 12V and 30 to the lock/unlock wire.  Is this correct or do I have the wires on the wrong numbers?

3.  Door triggers aren't working correctly.  The car has two (-) triggers.  When the alarm arms and the doors are closed the alarms tells me i have door ajar.  I diode isolated them.  The wiring guide says the passengers trigger is a light blue wire in the harness coming from the drivers side kick going under the seat but there are several light blue wires.  How do I tell which one it is?

4.  The car has two pink wires coming from the key switch.  Do I need to use both ignition wire outputs on the alarm?

5.  I am using a DEI 555LW.  I have the BLACK/ blue wire connected to the Active output/ignition wire coming from the SRT 9000.  Do I need to hook the pink wire to the ignition wire?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your help Chris.  Good to know about the domelight supervision.  That is much easier. 

2. I have a relay on both the lock and unlock outputs.  The green lock output from the code alarm is connected to a relay on the 86 pin, 87 to ground, 85 to 12v, and 30 to the factory wire.  I have been reading some posts and some have said that it isn't necessary to use relays for lock/unlock on this vehicle, can you confirm this?

Also do I need to hook the 2nd ignition output from the code alarm to the dark green wire?

Two more quick questions if you don't mind. 

1.  If i hook up the trunk lights negative wire to the instant trigger wire for the code if the trunk is opened while armed it will set the alarm off, correct?  

2.  If i hook up the parking lights output from the code alarm to the headlights at the steering column on the switch do i need to use a relay or will it have enough voltage to trigger them?

thanks again.

Chris,

I followed your directions and got everything working except my remote start won't function.  I have the tach wire connected and followed the instructions to "learn" the idle and I think it accepted it but when I hit the button the remote says remote start aborted.   I have IGN 1 going to the pink wire,  IGN 2 to the drk green,  ACC 1 to the orange wire.  I connected the 555L to the pink ignition wire and BLACK/ blue to the BLACK/ blue output on the Code Alarm.  Have I got something hooked up wrong somewhere?  

Chris,

It does have a seperate on/off safety switch.  I switched it to on and it works great.  Of course it was the easiest thing that I missed .  Got everything lined out now.  Thanks again for all your help!
