I plan on installing an Enforcer alarm in a '97 Civic h/b. The car has p/w, p/l, s/r, aftermarket stereo. The alarm is a few years old but never been used. Any tips, advice, diagrams that could possibly make this install easier will be greatly appreciated. I have experience as auto tech and electronics tech so no need to simplify "technical terms", just let her rip. Mahalo.

I'm installing one on my 97 civic also. But I cant find the parking lights wire to save my life. If you find it, maybe you could tell me exactly where its at.

if you look at your fuse box there will be some male blade terminal plugs with no plugs in them (i think there are 3), one of those is the parking lights just test the terminal with a DMM for 12v with the parking lights on then just put a female spade connector on the parking light wire and plug it into that spot on the fuse box and that should be it.
