Alright so I've been doing my research and think I am ready to do an install. My car has been broken into 4 times, twice in the hospital twice at school. All my notes and books were stolen, so I really need an alarm, but I am College student who is quite broke.
Anyway, all I need to do is install it.
The alarm is a Code Alarm CA1150 (I am not looking for anything more expensive).
The part that confuses me is the parking brake wiring

Do I have to use a relay? How to I wire it to the alarm?
I found all the other parts, 12v constant, ignition, accessory, etc. with my DMM already, so I know what to tap into, but I am stuck on the other part.

What parking brake wiring?
Do you mean parking LIGHTS?
If you mean parking light than no you do not need a relay.
This particular system has an internal relay with 2 outputs, white wires. You will only need to use 1 for your car. Insulate or de-pin the connector the unused wire. The WHITE/ red wire sets the polarity for the parking lights. For your car connect it to constant 12V through a 10A fuse.
The parking light wire is RED / Black at the fusebox blue plug.

Yeah I meant the lights, sorry.
Okay, so I connect the WHITE/ red input to the 12V constant (fused) and run the White output to the RED / Black?
Excellent, thanks for the help.

Another question, there fuse panel outputs for 12v Constant and Accessory and a Parking light input. Would you recommend using that instead of tapping into the wires in the steering column?

You should tap into a heavy gauge wire for your 12v constant. Another option is to connect the WHITE/ red wire from the CA1150 to the red constant 12v wire from the CA1150. They are almost literally next to each other.

Alrighty, just one more, (I hope)!
I don't know what kind my locks are. When I ran my DMM to it, the middle was ground and the two on the side were 12V when I would unlock or lock there would be a greater change in Voltage in one, but they would both be affected.
Is there anyway to find out what kind my car has? I think it is three wire ground, but I am not 100%

Just to make sure, I will need a relay for the parking lights?
87 and 85 Get Constant 12V and the 86 gets gets the alarm and the 30 is connected to the parking lamp
Or does this not apply to my car/alarm?

no additional relays necessary they are built into the brain. just fuse & power WHITE/ red and connect white to parking lights

Excellent, have it all working, the only problem is finding the door lock I removed as much as I could, but I still can't find 'em around the side of the fusebox, I can see them in the door.
If anyone knows where exactly they are and could help me, that's be great.
Thanks 91stt for all the help so far, I appreciate it.

the plug should be located above the fusebox taped to a harness
it is a 2 pin plug

Have everything working minus the siren (have to get some screws) and the horn.
Do I have to use a relay for the horn? Also where can I find the horn wire? I've been probing around while honking the horn, but no luck so far. I will see if I can find it somehow, but if you know where it is and could tell me, that be awesome.
Thanks for all the help, I know I've been asking a lot of questions, but this is my first alarm install.

the horn wire originates in the airbag harness as a gray wire (DO NOT probe in this harness) but changes to light GREEN/ blue farther down the harness. The CA1150 horn output wire should be sufficient to drive the factory horn relay.

Cool I think I found the horn relay (it's on the drivers side in the middle right below the heating/cooling controls. I'll just tap into the light GREEN/ blue with silver dots or (I suppose testing this one would be fine).
Once again thanks for the help!

The Alarm is working amazing, all I need to know if where to find the Dome Light wire, I can't seem to find it anywhere other than in the domelight itself.
Posted By: patrol42
Date Posted: November 14, 2010 at 6:33 PM
For future reference (I finally found it): The dome light is a BLACK/ white with silver dots and is to the right of a ignition on a big plug.
Thank you all for all the help, I am done.

Should I put the "Protected by Code Alarm" sticker on my window?
