Can Someone Please Help Me Out?!!?!?!!?!?!?

I am trying to install a Streetglow LED Underbody Kit and am having trouble hooking up the alarm interface. What you are able to do with the system is to hook up a connection where when the alarm system is armed a ground is supplied to the LED Control Box and the center bank is to blink once a second. However I am having difficulty getting this to work correctly. I have posted the diagram of how i have it wired below can anyone help me out here?

Any help would be greatly apreciated

Thanks ahead of time,

From what I'm getting out of your diagrams, it looks like you need to hook up terminal 30 of your relay to your battery(with a fuse of course.) That's assuming that "LED alarm interface" is the blue circle on the L.E.D. underbody controller.

Hold on, the diagram specifically says ground. Try just running a ground to the blue wire and see if it works. Also, you are putting it in alarm mode right?

I made sure that the alarm mode works by just connecting the blue wire (alarm turn-on FIG. 2) to a ground and that works. But that is not a solution just a way to make it work. I need that blue wire to get a ground signal when the alarm is active. I also dont understand what the point to putting a fuse on a ground wire would do

thanks

You would simply take the starter kill relays *ground while armed* from the alarm, to activate the ground which you require to turn on the LEDs.

A relay and a diode must be placed in the circuit.
