Right, to cut a long story short I think i've... (UK spec btw)

A) Blown a fuse in my Clifford 500 or...
B) Blown my whole alarm

I was putting a relay in the live siren wire, there were 4 wires in a main wire, they were red, black, green and yellow. Obviously I cut them all just to get to the red one, soldered em all back up and heat shrinked them. Then put the relay in the red one.
I know the alarm was working before I did this so i'm guessing that few of the wires touched each other when i cut it.

I know I shoulda disconnecte the batt before hand but for some dumbass reason :(didn't think i'd have to.

I checked all the car fuses, aswell as putting a wire inbetween the red contacts on the relay. Also, I have power to door locks, inside light thing, normal lights and the such, but no remote central locking or anything to do with the alarm. No little red light for the alarm neither, and cant start the car, so immobiliser.

Don't call me a dumbass cos I know that already :)

Is there any fuses in the clifford concept 500, or a reset button? The car was in valet mode before hand if that helps and all soldered connections are solid i believe.

oh yeah, btw, HELP!

Ouch, safety first-disconnect or unplug fuse from alarm to battery.  If you cut all the wires at once... then yeah... fried something.posted_image

Aha, found some alarm fuses, and ones burnt out, so hopefully I found the problem :)
