Hello,

I wired everthing up.  All soldered and heat shrunk cleanly. I have all the proper tools, although I am a beginner....  albeit a capable one.

-I have an Orange wire that the instructions say becomes a grounded 500ma output when armed.  I am trying to use it for the ignition cut relay as stated by the instruction manual. For some reason it is not tripping the relay.  When I send #85 on the relay straight to ground with a jumper wire it trips the relay.    I suspect that the alarm brain may be defective, either by my hands or the manufacturers.  

#30 is going  to ignition side of the ignition/starter wire...

#87a is going to the other side of the cut ignition/starter wire...

#85 is going to the orange wire 500ma grounded when armed,,,,

#86 is going to the hot ignition source (crank/run)

I Installed a diode like the instructions said between #85 & #86 on the relay.  I NOW know that the purpose of this is to stop current flow back through the orange wire but I did not know what its purpose was originally. I had it installed backwards! 

Is it possible that this ruined the brain?   When I hook up my volt meter to the orange wire and try to do a continuity test to ground, It does not make continuity when I arm the alarm. So the orange wire doesent seem to be working.

What do yall think?

im seen the installation manual and i see a diode accros the relay thay have the orange hooked up to #86 the #85 goes to true ignitions, the diode is the cathode (the stripe) going to 85 the other end to #86 this must help, if not maybe the output of the alarms is dead, test it with a meter of digital probe to see if u get a negative when the alarm arms.
