Hello folks, it's the annoying noob again :)

I have a Clifford Concept 600 Alarm, and I read in the wiring specs that there is a Yellow Accessory (-) wire that I can use for air horns. I'm assuming I can use this for my piezo as well (programmable Constant/Pulsed), but I have absolutely no idea how to take that one (-) Yellow wire and plug it into the two + and - wires on my piezo siren.

My best guess is using a relay, but from what I see on this website, those are used to convert one type of trigger into the opposite type of output: https://www.the12volt.com/relays/page1.asp

Any type of help would be greatly appreciated.

God bless,

Tony.

U got it.................

Ground Negative side of Piezo:

1 SPDT Relay:

PIN 87 = Positive Wire to Piezo
PIN 30 = 12 Volt Positive Constant
PIN 86 = 12 Volt Positive Constant
PIN 85 = Negative (Yellow ) wire from Alarm

Hello MO,

Thanks for your reply. Not sure I get it though posted_image

Where do I connect pins 30 & 86? The diagram on this page says 12V+ Fused:

I just have no idea what to do with that wire!

Thanks,

Tony.

Here's what I get so far...

85: Plug the (-) cable from the alarm

87: Plug into the (+) wire of the Piezo

Connect the (-) wire of the Piezo somewhere on the body for ground.

Do I even need pins 30 & 86? If so, connect them together as the diagram shows, and plug them where?

Cheers,

Tony.

PIN 30 & PIN 86 go to a 12 Volt Positive CONSTANT Source in your Vehicle. Such as the Constant source your Alarm is hooked to or a battery lead
Be sure & fuse the lead

Sweet! Thank you pencil!

I was actually looking for the 12volts ignition wire. Can I just choose between the pink/black and red wires?

Cool - thanks a lot.

One more question though - just want to make sure I don't blow anything up :)

I'll still need to fuse the cable coming from (12volt+ Fused) 30&86 that will plug into the pink/black cable, correct?

That should be enough of the noob for a while :)

Tony.

Thank you pencil and MO, you guys have been very helpful.

I'll probably give it a crack tomorrow and see how it goes. Hopefully won't blow anything up :)

Next project after this, door actuators on my TJ. Should be fun!

Tony.
