2004 pontiac grand prix alarm

I need some help with installing a Code Alarm by audio vox, model CA 6550. For the alarm system wireing directions it has 2 wire for a door trigger. One is positive and one is negative. For my car wireing charts they only have one wire they say to use for each door. So do I use only one wire from the alarm system? If so which one? Can I just cut the other one not in use if I donnt need it? Thanks a bunch-Brian

Your Grand Prix has (-) door triggers.  You will use only the (-) Door Trigger Input to the alarm.  Insulate and secure the (+) Door Trigger.  You will need 4 diodes.  They are available at Radio Shack.  Here is the the wire info from Bulldog Security for your car:

NOTE *3 the DRIVERS DOOR is a GRAY/BLACK (-) Pin 26, the PASSENGER DOOR is a BLACK/ WHITE (-) Pin 17, the DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR is a LIGHT BLUE/BLACK (-) Pin 7 and the PASSENGERS SIDE REAR DOOR is a LIGHT GREEN/ BLACK Pin 5 all are at the BCM Connector C2. When connecting to an ALARM SYSTEM, use all (4) DOOR TRIGGER wires and DIODE ISOLATE. to connect, See DIAGRAM

Here is a link to the diagram with the diode wiring:  http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/diagrams/extrainfo/diagrams/7141_GRAND-PRIX_(-)%20NEGATIVE%20DOOR%20PIN%20ISOLATION%20CIRCUIT.pdf

Soldering is fun!

Thank you kreg. Now i am stuck with trying to install a WHITE/ blue wire called EXTERNAL START INPUT (-). Says the wire will activate the remote start function when a ground pulse is applied to it from an external device. Where do i hook this wire in my car? do i need the wire? another thing i am stuck on is the car alarm system came with some sort of relay. it has a red wire, black wire, orange wire, and a white with blk strip on it. my install manual doesnt show this being part of my install at all. I looked up some info on relays and stuff, i found it looks like a STARTER KILL RELAY. If so how do i install this thing? Is there a diagram i can look at? To open my trunk i have to hold the unlock for a few seconds. Also, i tried to install the trunk opener. i used the light blue wire my car wire chart told me to use. i tried it out and all it does is unlock the doors. The door unlock has different wires to use. i haven't even hooked up the door unlock wires yet. Thanks for help-Brian

also another question i have is, do i need anything special for the keyless entry part? like a actuator? thanks again brian-Brian

I suggest that you seek professional help to install this. Kreg has correctly answered your first question, the WHITE/ blue, insulate and tape it up, you won't be using it. As for the starter kill relay:- Armed out put (GWA wire, possibly orange?) to 85, Ignition, 1 (live while starting) to 86' Starter wire from key to 30 and wires from remote start,(starter output) and othewr side of cut starter wire to 87a.

Hello everyone, i just installed a ca 6550 code alarm in my 04 pontiac grand prix. Everything works fine. When i start the car with the remote start i hear a ticking noice behind the fuse box. When i put the key in the ignition, turn it to run and puch the brake the noise stops. It doesnt make the noise unless i start it with remote start. My guess is a relay ticking. Anyone have any suggestions? If its a relay ticking why would it? what can i do to stop it? thankyou brian-Brian

are the parking lights flashing when it's remote started?Advanced

Nope the parking lights don't flash. They are on like they are suppose to be. That's why I am confused.-Brian
