when i arm my car, the parking light feed from my alarm send positive feed like it should, so that my parking lights will blink. the problem is, i have a 97 eclipse and the parking light is a constant positive feed. they only turn on when it recieves a ground feed, so my question is, how can hook my parking wire up to my parking lights? becuase if my alarms gives off a positive feed to another positive feed, then nothing happens. thank you

all you need to do is get a relay. Run your light flash wire to pin 85 on the relay. Run pin 86 staight to ground. Find the wire in the car that must see ground to turn the lights on and put that wire on pin 87. Then take a wire staight to ground from pin 30. That should do it. BrianH.

i tried that, but when the car is off, the ground is no feed for some reason, so that doesn't work either, unless you can tell me how to make the ground work when the car is off, i thought the ground always works, but i guess not.

Try looking for a GREEN / WHITE wire at a junction block (connector) or the dimmer switch. This is the parking light wire, you should be able to hook your alarms output to this to turn on your park lights. Try this and let me know if this works. BrianH.

but the GREEN / WHITE wire is a constant 12v, when it recieve another positive, nothing happens. so that's not going to work.

Check to see if your alarm has this feature. Some alarms have a selectable + or - light flash. Which at the brain or in internal programming you can select this.
