All information here.

The problem I'm having is wiring the light flash on the car alarm wire which has a {-}200mA output to a SPDT relay from ----
it lights the parking lights and my turn signal flashes them too. With each side having seperate circuits I read and used two SPDT relays that made no switching either.
I used three SPDT relays and wired them for a two wire light flsh and the alarm had no power when used with the transmitter. I beleive it happened with the two relays too. The relays are new and wiring is OK
What should be done.

What kind of car is it........? And are you SURE your alarm cannot be programmed for a (+)POS light flash?

The alarm has a selectable output and systems that use 10amps and up use the {-]output like for this car. Is this wiring showing the same use... 'negative output to a positive output' like the basic light flash
