If you're talking about a 12volt constant wire, then there are constants all over the place, you can use a meter or test light to find it, it'll be a wire that has 12v all the time, no matter what's going on with the car...a constant feed off the battery.
Usually with alarm installs, it's gonna be at the ignition switch harness...on your car, this site says your 12v constant wire is: White at the Ignition Switch Harness...gonna be a heavy guage thick wire.

I saw that the 12Volt constant wire is supposed to be white but there is no white wire in the ignition harness which has left me confused. I tried testing some of the wires to see if any showed 12v constant all the time but i didnt find any. Maybe i was testing wrong but there I didnt find any. Maybe its a different color then whats listed on the wiring diagram. Please help

Take the steering column cover off, look either at the key, or anywhere around there for heavy gauge wires (really thick)....these wires will usually be in a loom, or taped up just use a razor blade carefully to expose them...you will find a constant or sometimes more than one constant, a starter wire, again, sometimes more than one, you will find switched 12V, etc...It's there, you just have to keep testing with your meter or test light...
I use a meter to check mine, I set it to volts, clip the black lead from the meter to ground, and the red is clipped to the wire i'm testing, i usually strip back a little tiny bit of the wire for testing, then tape it back up if i'm not going to be using that one.
