2000 gm vauxhall astra u.k spec

hi

 I have a 2000 year GM/vauxhall astra u.k spec and wondered if anyone has the connection locations for a clifford alarm and wire colours if possible, any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks   nick

What do you need and what model alarm?

hi

 thanks for your reply, i am after the common connection points for the car, i am used to fitting the cliffords onto fords and cant find any good info on wire colours or connection points for the car, any help would be grateful for.

                                                             

Behind glove box to the right is the main loom, vertical, adjacent to the radio. Ignition 1 thick black, Ignition 2 thick black (1 will drop under cranking). Starter black red. Indicators, BLACK/ white and BLACK/ red, same place. Hood, (bonnet) BROWN / green Doors, grey. Hatch, BROWN / white. Lock and window/roof close,blue/red- Unlock WHITE/ black- Location BCU/and factory alarm if fitted, behind/hand kick panel Hood can also be picked up in engine glove box loom, hatch at plug in front of left hand rear light unit. I'm giving you these options because the availability at the BCU box varied. Deadlock, blue/black + use a relay. also BCU box. Best grounds, brown in first loom, or bolts on sill adjacent to BCU box. Note please test I'm doing this list from memory, also multiple use like Ford of the same colour, e.g. BROWN / white is also the handbrake signal wire.

Sorry, forgot tach, light green in that original loom, DO NOT pick it up at the injectors, causes problems. If it's a 650, add 2 short mounting strips push up behind the cross brace to the right side of the glove box and tap-tight up there. That loom can also be accessed by removing the slot between ashtray and heater controls. Getting to the loom behind the ignition switch is a PITA.

many thanks for all your help

decided that the intellistart 4 should also make an appearance on this car, the alarm is now installed and working great thanks to the great info from howie II, it made life so much easier with the knowledge that he has, if its not too much trouble could anyone also give me a guide to the connections needed to put intellistart 4 onto this vehicle

thanks   nick

Light green TACH wire in that main loom at the glove box, or remove the lower pocket in centre console, that's where the loom is. The HANDBRAKE lead joins the loom there coming up from behind the ashtray, it's BROWN / white. 2nd. ignition, black at the same loom, ACC thin red again there or radio loom. Foot brake is I believe WHITE/ black, left floor side of passenger kick-panel. Can't think of anything else. You've already done your start and ign 1, immobiliser leads on the 650. If you've set up the original alarm as comfort close, this may not work when you set up manual transmission reservation mode.

hi

 thanks for the quick reply, so all i need is to connect the start and ign 1 from intellistart to the same points as the 650 and then add a ign 2 and acc which i take to be the ORANGE / gray and orange  in the H1 harness, its going onto an auto so i will ground BLACK/ green and the tach is already connected to the 650, do i keep the tach on the 650 or just connect to the intellistart module? i presume also that i will need to use a bypass kit for the immobiliser.

thanks    nick

Disconnect the tach from the 650 and reconnect it to the I/Start. If you've already connected the BROWN / red and BROWN / white to the brake light and a constant, leave them in place. Don't bother with the brake light feed on the I/start. As for by-pass, 556U OR remove one of the RFID chips from a key and glue using an acrylic glue to the TOP of the plastic antenna housing around the ignition switch, it works fine, don't forget you've already immobilised the vehicle via the 650 so there's no legal obligation to leave the OEM immobiliser active,
