I'm assuming you want to make the shock sensor more sensetive I think most places that install your alarm will adjust this for you for free as long as your not having them adjust it every day LOL I know shops I've worked in have done this for no charge as long as it wasn't more than once or twice, you might be better off taking it to them so you don't have to mess with it, but if you want to, most shock sensors are about ............oh... half the size of a modern cell phone, it may have a green or red or both when you thump it when your vehicle is armed, it should be somewhere right below the steering column, some places mount them to something solid, other's mount them to wiring harnesses, shoud have one or two adustments on it ------------- ELECTRONICS RUN OFF OF SMOKE, WHEN YOU LET THE SMOKE OUT THEY STOP WORKING

GREEN/ red light, sorry, not all of them have these though if it has the two adustments one will be for the warn away sensativity and the other will be for the full alarm ------------- ELECTRONICS RUN OFF OF SMOKE, WHEN YOU LET THE SMOKE OUT THEY STOP WORKING

under the steering column or to the right or the left, you'll probably need a small screwdriver to adust the knob or "pot"

Please oh please if you dont have experience with product dont offer advice on it. Your guessing leaves others doing the same. Your post after this stating installers put shock sensors on the steering column or around is riduculous as well.
Let the installer take care of it.. please. Mel ------------- Someone pass me that bottle.

under the steering column area just an area for him to look around what is your deal dude??? ------------- ELECTRONICS RUN OFF OF SMOKE, WHEN YOU LET THE SMOKE OUT THEY STOP WORKING

No deal. If a consumer looks under their dash and finds a shock sensor on the steering column---thats bad. And once again---if your not familiar with product dont suggest advice. The 791 doesnt have dual pots and if it did in combination with it being accessible to the owner.....installers would never sleep as owners would be constantly complaning about false alarms. Just keeping it real........

the trim pots on these units are sensitive... half the time customers try to adjust things themselves they strip the pot.... just take it back to the dealer and ask to have it readjusted........
