Hello all.

I own a 1999 Renault Clio Mk2 RN. When I brought the car the remote locking key was broken and after being quoted between £80 (locksmith) and £160 (Renault) I decided to buy a cheap alarm with a central locking output.

I purchased a Shark Car Alarm 2 from Maplins and now, having installed it, am unsure how to go about wiring in the central locking.

The car has a button on the centre console to lock and unlock the doors and boot.

I'm pretty new to car electrics so I'm not to sure what info I need to give but it would be much appreciated if somebody could steer me in the right direction.

Cheers

Sorry, forgot to mention.

When the alarm is armed a wire becomes a 12v negative (any use with relays?)

you should have 2 neg pulses one for loack and other for unlock.

you can attach them to the wires going to the switch. no need to lift the centre console from the drivers side you can clip you hand under and pull the wires down there is enough wire to come down.. tap in there not sure of the colours you'll have to test

the ground when armed can be used with relay for window mods or starter kill

sorry i just checked the 99 model is as follows

12V + ignition harness

STARTER orange or white + ignition harness

IGNITION yellow + ignition harness

POWER LOCK violet + at relay board on n/side

POWER UNLOCK white + at relay board on n/side

PARKING LIGHTS org/vio & gry/vio + hazard light switch

DOOR TRIGGER green - yel plug in n/s relay

board

TRUNK/HATCH PIN green - at the bootlight

the one i done was 01 and i got the wires at teh switch neg unlock and lock.

i would try the switch again if i was you.. you should be able to get them there without going to the relays

does your alarm not have lock and unlock wires

Wow, great reply.

The alarm does not have locking output. It basically has an output which is grounded whenever the alarm is armed.

I think, and bare in mind this is probs wrong, according to my Haynes manual the lock switch has 5 wires. 2 of which are for a light. The remaining 3 are a ground, a pink/black wire and a grey wire going to the fuses.

ok if you using positive locking you have to wire a relay like so.

85 - ground when armed

86 - 12v constant

30 - 12v constant

87 - to lock wire

87a - to unlock wire

i don't like this set up as its not a pulsed switch its constant

it cost 40 pounds if you've not opened it yet i would return it and get an alarm for similar money. you could buy a scytek precision 200 for about 60 pounds icluding shipping. well worth the extra money.
