clifford 70.5, 2001 galant

Thanks guys, this helps out alot. I love this web site.  i wish it was here years ago when i installed my first alarm (viper), it went well.  this is my second so I will definitely be back with more questions soon. again thanks.

By the way, how much difference is there bettween the viper and clifford if there both made by dei.  when i was looking at the matrix 70.5 and i think it was the viper 7901 they both had very similar features even some of the some componants, is one better?

Ok, so i've got the control module and the satellite relay mounted in thier locations and the wires loomed and ran to where i believe i will need to make my conections. my question is about tapping a constant power source for both units.  I have my constant 12 from the ignition ( blue/yel) heavy gauge. The control module has a small gauge fused red wire for input, and the satellite relay has three heavy gauge fused red wires for its input. How do i tap all four of these wires into this one blue / YELLOW ignition wire? This doesn't sound right to me, is it.

Do you guys solder all you connections, or maybe crimp first to make sure everything works then go back and solder?

Ok, this helps.  So how should i make the actual connections, with a really big crimp connector?  I would have the three large gauge red wires from the relay, the small gauge red from the control module and the large gauge blue / YELLOW from battery on one side of the crimped connector. The other side would only have the one blue/ yellow wire to the ignition switch.  is that right?

Or did you say i could use only one of the three reds into the rs relay.

CW, What am I doing wrong here? I always wired that cable to either the parking brake on manuals or reverse on autos such that it sits on ground when brake up and goes pos when brake released or transmission shifted out of park.

Mark, solder, don't crimp unless you have a professional crimping tool. I only crimp grounding ring terminals. Also have fun if you use 530ts or similar for window closing, wiring is ign+,  neg and data as far as the motor, the up and downs are attatched to the motor which on the back doors you have to drop to get at. It works beautifully but it's a right pain.

Without going into explanations, if your alarm module has TWO BLACK/ whites, then join one to ground, the other to the alarm's green. If only ONE then alarm black white to relay 85, 12v+ to 86, ground to 87 and 30 to alarms green. Don't confuse yourself with too much information at this stage of the game.

N.B. If your dome light turns on on unlock or open door and stays on for either 30secs or so before door close and ign. on then you don't need it anyway!

Do the simple things first.
