Now two there is a sliding cover when removed shows a 2 lever sliding switch labled 1 and 2 on the topwith an arrow pointing up that says on. What is switch one for and two for. Thanks getting ready to install this alarm on a 1980 Lincoln Mark VI. And thanks to everyone who has helped me in regards to all the wiring going to give it a try this weekend. posted_image

The red\black is used for split unlocking, like factory keyless. It's a programmable feature. If you need any programming help e-mail me, I install KARR alarms all day.

Thanks any help would be greatful as i am putting this on a 1980 Lincoln Mark VI. As i have gotten help from one other 12volt member about the wiring. But it would be nice to double check. He also stated i have a his comments (I show you have 5 wire reverse locks so you will need relays for those.) So i picked up 5 relays and harnesses from Ebay. The Diode i have gotten are marked V74
1N5402? Which i was told i need one on each relay for the door locks and one on the ING KILL relay. And since i don't plan on using the dome light supervision or the horn output. But any help on wiring info on the door locks and anything else you can throw in would be greatful. Thanks.

Tommy dont't know if your question was for me or Secureauto but if for me No no shop just a hobbiest. And Thanks Also
