Hey,
I installed everything for my 97 firebird trans am following this awesome guide: https://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/alarm96up.htm
I used my own relays for the door lock/unlock part. I hooked them up like the diagram on this page, https://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/alarm96up3.htm (The 3pin door lock plug)
... With the diagram it has the middle wire on the plug as the +12 volts, i just connected the constant 12volts wire i ran from the fuse box. Now i think about it, i might not even need to use the extra relays i wired up... do you guys think i do or not, in the manual it says this about the door lock/unlock plug:
3 Pin Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector)
The Red and Green wires will provide either a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay, ora pulsed + 12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay. In either case, the maximum current drawthrough these outputs must not exceed 300 mA. The Red w/Black trace wire will provide a pulsed groundonly, and will only provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second timeafter a first unlock command was issued. This is used for second step unlock or all doors unlock in a twostep circuit. In this arrangement, Red is used to control the drivers door unlock relay, and the RED / Blackwill be used to control unlock of all other doors. (I only used the red and green wires, not the RED / black)
Everything else is installed, except for the hood pin switch and i didnt bother to do anything that had to do with the remote starter because the car has a 6-speed manual tranny.
When i plug in everything the siren starts to chirp and doesnt stop. i have tried to turn on the ignition then press the valey switch 3 times then turn it off ive tried holding the valey switch down. Im stumped. The thing is, it only starts chirping when the door lock/unlock plug is connected. Oh yea and because it is a firebird, it has RAP (retained accessory power) which is explained on https://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/alarm96up3.htm this page, I added the 2 diodes the same way Brent Franker has done so on his guide in order to bypass the RAP.
Anothing thing to keep in mind, my passanger side auto door lock/unlock (from factory keyless entry transmitter, or the drivers side or passanger side switch inside the car) is not working, i have to do it manually everytime i need to lock or unlock it. The drivers side is fine and works from the transmitter and both switches. I am pretty sure the problem is the door actuator so i am giong to replace that... Could this be interfearing with the alarm installation?
Please, any feedback is great!
doesnt sound like you need relays...did you hook the two wire from the alarm to the car's door lock wires???

yea i did through the relays, i hooked the up at the body control module correctly, i tested the 2 wires with my multimeter when i pressed lock then unlock and they both gave 12 bolts for the correct thing.
remove the relays and try it

Im pretty sure i have tried this, because i kept trying different things, but i'll try again and do the valet stuff just to make sure
make sure that that car uses a pos trigger for door locks and not a 5 wire.

didnt work :(
it just chirps and wont stop!
oh it actually stops chirping when i open the drivers door... i think this is because the diode is wired up to that and the unlock button...
It still wont let me program it though
