OK, installed my 855 LCD today. Works like a charm. Locks, unlocks, trunk, temperature, everything is great. HOwever, I decided to try every sensor to make sure all were working. Went and shook the shock sensor a little bit, alarm siren sounded, (and WOW is it loud). Went to remote to disarm and silence siren, and realized I had no idea how to. Went and grabbed the manuals, and can't find ANYTHING about how to silence the alarm after it's been triggered. So right now the battery is disconnected but everytime I re-connect it, the alarm sounds again. Any help about how to silence the alarm would be appreciated.

Meh, figured it out. It seems that in like the first 3 seconds of the alarm going off, if you try to disarm it, it won't do it. But yeah, it is the unlock button, just gotta wait a second to do it.

Just some background information. I am installing an Autopage RS-855LCD alarm into a 97 Dodge Neon.
1. One of my connections is the Turn Indicator Relay Power input. The instructions say that if the car has +12volt switched parking light to not connect and if the car has ground switched parking lights, to ground the wire. So I need to know, do I have +12V switched (I think I do) or do I have ground switched? I have searched all of the net, but can't find the answer.
2. What wire can I tap into under the dash for the tach signal? Or do I have to run a wire to the engine bay? I figure that I'm getting a tach signal to my cluster, so there's gotta be a wire under the dash somewhere.
3. What wire is the dome light wire? For my door trigger (-) I'm using the dome light. When door opens, light comes on, alarm sounds. HOWEVER, do I also hook up the dome light wire from the brains to this same wire?
5. And, my most urgent urgent urgent question (needed for remote start) is this:
On my new alarm system, it's got 3 connections to a +12V power source.
2 fused 20A wires each going to be getting +12V
1 fused 3A wire getting +12V
My question is this: Where do I make all of these +12V connections at? Can I just combine all of those 3 wires together and splice into the Pink/Black wire in the car or what? 1 is just any constant
here is the text describing the other 2
Quote:
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay satellite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+) 12V to the key switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there.
Note: if the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect one RED wire of the satellite to each feed at the switch.
Thanks,
Kevin
If anyone can answer ANY of these questions, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Forgot to mention. I have hooked up power wire 1 (the 3A one) to my vehicle's constant power source, and the alarm functions fine. But I need to know where to connect these other 2 high power power lines.

you have positive swtched parking lights get your tach at the engine bay direct wire does not show a domelight wire for your car so ill have to get back on that your car has two 12 volt sources, use one for the main power on the rs and the other for the other wires. ------------- gcorrea

Positive switched lights...CHECK
Tach in engine bay.....CHECK
I know which wire is my dome light wire. But my thing is this...I am already hooking up the door trigger wire to the dome light wire. Is it OK to hook up the dome light wire to that same wire?
Do you know where these two 12 volt sources are at? I know where one is, as I'm tapped into it right now. But I need to know where the other one is.
Thank you very much.

OK, are you sure I have positive switched lights? I kept the line connected as the book says, and connected another wire to my parking light wire (BLACK / YELLOW under dash) but my parking lights don't flash.

I'm attempting to install an Autopage RS--855LCD into my 97 neon. The only thing i can't get working is remote start. All of the sensors and everything work great. Now to my woes. I wired up the remote start wires. Hooked the two power wires into my ignition switch harness power wire, hooked all of the additional ignition wires up, hooked starter wire up....Went to learn the RPMs, BUT when I started the car (with key) for the brains to learn the RPMs, the system didn't pick up that the car was on. I know my RPM wire is right, but could another wire be doing this? So, I went and set it to timed start, just to see if I could start the car at all. When I press the remote start, the gauges all come to life, the pumps all energize, but that's it. I can hear the relays in the brain clicking, but that is all that happens. After about 10 seconds, my remote beeps, and the startup sequence stops. That's it. BTW, this is going into a Manual tranny car, and the neutral safety switch is hooked up (not grounded). Just hoping that someone can help. Kevin

OK, time for an update. I messed around some more, and pressed the remote start button. Again, the gauges came to life, and it went to try a timed start. It didn't work. I pressed the remote start button again to stop the sequence, but it wouldn't stop at all. WEIRD! So I got into the car, put the key's in, pressed in the clutch to start the car myse4lf, and as soon as I pressed in the clutch, it came to life without keys. While on remote start, if I press the clutch in while it's running, the starter will grind, so for some reason, it is only putting power to the starter when the clutch is pressed. Does this have anything to do with my neutral safety wire? Anyway, the car absolutely WILL NOT shut off while running on remote start. I had to actually unplug the harness while the car was running (Since it was on the timed start, I think it was still 'trying' to start when I pressed in the clutch, hence the reason for the grinding. Perhaps if I let it sit running for a minute or two, then pressed in the clutch, it wouldn't grind? Anyway, I need to know why it only starts with the clutch pressed in, and how to fix it.
Thanks,
Kevin

you obviously must have a wire hooked up incorrectly. What is the BLACK/ white nuetral safety switch hooked up to? The unit will only start if that wire sees ground.

Nope, everything is hooked up fine. Turns out I needed to bypass the clutch switch *duh*  Took one of my negative outputs from the brain and tapped into my clutch signal wire....tried again and it started right up.

To stop the 855 LCD right away when sounding the alarm, you hit the Lock button and it stops it right away with no delay. ------------- electronics
