Hello all. I have a 2000 S10 and since brand new (I put designtech remote start on right away) I would set off the factory alarm every so often.

I finally figured out it is because the factory disarm lead was never hooked up. My question is I found a 14awg wire in the driver's door panel, but every where I read it is supposed to be a light green wire. Mine is neither light in color or gauge. It had about 5K ohms to ground, reguardless of weather key was in door or not. I also tried locking and unlocking both with key and pushbutton in door.

What I did was run a jumper from this wire to ground. Will I hurt anything by doing this? No need for factory alarm, as I have aftermarket installed.

What do you mean b " every so often " ? If the system is not properly bypassed, it will be set off every time you try to remote start the vehicle. Make sure that the unit is properly outputting a (-) signal to the wire that you have as your OEM DISARM wire and if your not wanting the OEM disarm any way, just permanently ground the wire.

why not program the OEM alarm to only Arm with the remote?
