the wires are printed on the back of the manual.

if you just want power/ground

look at the large 6pin harness

BLACK - ground

RED - Constant 12v
RED / WHITE - Constant 12v

do oyu know what brain model you are installing?

i meant to say the wiring is on the back of the brain itself.

so everything you need to know is there. if you need an install manual you can get it in downloads.

is the siren ground attached?
how are you testing the unit?
if you are using the remote, is the antenna plugged in?
are you testing it in the vehicle or on a bench?
is there a fuse in the power wire and is it good?

im testing it in my car, the alarm i just took out worked fine but very old and limited options
yes the siren is grounded, i am using the remote, the antenna and the led are plugged in, there is a 30 amp fuse in the line and its fine
is there certain buttons too press on the remote for first use?
should the led come on?

Well if you didn't notice the remotes do not come preprogrammed.

Program your remotes. And you should be fine. Also if you tell us what your working with this will HELP alot.

the 900fm is the one with the blue or grey remotes i assume.

cycle the ignition 5 times, wait for a click, press lock, wait to hear 2 clicks then turn off ign.

you can simulate this by tapping the ign wire to constant 12v.
