No, the alarm has a positive output for parking lights... :)...

The alarm has 2 different inputs for door triggers, one + and one -..

Thanks for the help... and sorry for being such a noobie... I'm determined to do this myself and learn...

The voltage should not change in the parking light wire behind the dimmer when I turn the knob...

So if nothing changes when I move the knob, that means it is safe to use this wire, without chance of frying my dimmer, correct?

lol...installing a fusion F2000 on my accord took me about a week...looks like you're on your way to the 7-day mark as well.

can't imagine you'll fry the dimmer.

and your multimeter should have a 20V DC setting...that's what i use for testing +/- during an alarm install.

Lol I haven't actually started to physically touch anything in the car since yesterday... When I did a little reconnaissance mission for the right wires :).

I got hold of a DMM today... And will work on it for an hour or two before I'm off to work again. I'm a busy man...

Hey guys,

I just finished making the connections for my Autopage RF-520LCD alarm into my 97 Prelude. Before fastening everything and screwing the siren, I thought I would dry-test the alarm to see if everything works fine.

Well everything works except for the power locks... The doors will unlock properly with the remote, except it unlocks them twice.. (2 pulses after the other, i don't know why)... But when you arm the alarm on the remote, you can hear the power-locks mechanism moving, but the doors do not lock... What could I have possibly done wrong... I get 12V in the alarm harness for the power lock and unlock wires, and it dips down when you hit the respective switch...

Another things is, for some reason, when the alarm is triggered, the power lock mechanism is pulsing along with the parking lights... The doors aren't locking or unlocking... I just hear the mechanism going off until I disarm it with the remote... I checked and the parking light wire and the power lock wire are not even close to touching...

HELP

Also, it takes much longer to search for your threads to keep up with this install than it does to read this entire thread, so please help us help you.
