I have a 1988 Buick Century with power locks and trunk release. I have a Vampire 3-channel alarm system and I have no idea where to even start. I read the directions and they are somewhat detailed, but I thought some help from some seasoned pros like yourselves would be helpful.

Tell us what you want to start with.

Start with the siren ground one wire and the other you connect to the alarm wire, whatever wire the manual tells you.

Its not really hard all you gotta know is where the wires are located on the car and know which color wire does what on the alarm.

O.k., I thank you for the wire colors, thats a big help. but the #202 diagram you are refering to is that the same as the "3 wire positive diagram" on this site.
