Alarm Problems in 93 Civic

The alarm has no input for a trunk trigger which I was a little confused about. It does have a positive output for a trunk release though. It has an out to a hood switch, which apparantly you have to buy because it didn't come with it. It doesn't have a triger wire though just an out to the switch. I didn't hook up the switch yet but I tested to see if it would cut out my remote started engine if I grounded it and it did. I figured this is probably optional for the alarm to work since it did work that way at first.

The hood pin may double as a triggerable alarm zone input. Try arming the alarm, wait about a minute then ground the hood pin to see if it triggers the alarm. If it does then I would suggest using it and perhaps you can use a few diodes and run it to the trunk as well. If someone tries to force open the hood or trunk it will activate the alarm.Steve G
