’97 hyundai tiburon alarm wiring problem

est it, like howie said. There can't be too many wires colored the same, and i would hate to see a car on fire from a wrong wire hookup.

If i remember right though I did not have to go to the kick for any wires on a r/s, keyless, alarm on my last 97 tiburon. I went to the running board area. Other than that most of them are at the switches. You will have to go to the passenger side for a passenger side door trigger.

first off, telling me the exact same thing is utterly pointless. doing it like the pros, would not include wiring an alarm to the rocker panel when all the wires are within a foot of where you would most likely place the brain. on top of that I didn't have any extra wire on hand so I couldn't have done that even if I wanted to, which I don't, I know how to identify wires, I was asking where in the tiburon the driver's kick panel wiring harness is? that is what I need to know, preferably with pictures. on top of that I don't have a clamp-on multimeter and I am not poking a hole in a bunch of wires to find out what they are.

You strip a small amount of insulation off a wire that is the color you are looking for and test it.  If it is the wrong color cover up the exposed area with a piece of Scotch 33+ electrical tape.  That is how it is done.

Or, if you want to get fancy, get new leads for your meter that have "bed of nails" in them - they pierce the wire with small pin holes that don't need to be covered back up.

The answer to your last question. Where in the Tiberon the driver's kick panel is?  Try the driver's kick panel. Now calm down logic (and experience) tells us the following:- Generally ign and starter wires will be in the ignition loom, along with indicators and or sidelights and headlights. Brake, reverse lights and door contacts will be in the drive side floor looms*, lock control wires and will be in the kick panels usually at driver's side. There are usually plugs inside the DKP where you can get at the wires without any stripping. Follow these simple rules, calm down, don't blame us because you are too lazy to test, and you will find your answers. Good lord we haven't even gotten to tach or by-passes and you're already hot under the collar.

*I'm talking Oriental with right hand drive, generally, with right hand drive vehicles the main front to rear loom is on the right hand floor loom. The reverse applies to left hand drive.

If you don't feel like testing a bunch of wires then don't do the install!!!  Thats exactly what is required when installing an alarm or remote start or whatever, test the wires and when you find what you're looking for hook it up.  The fact that you've already got all wizy on us is going to do nothing to help you out.  This is a very informative website/forum and there are plenty of people on here that can help you out and that is obviously why you are here.....YOU need help!  Calm down and let US help YOU!  If you're too lazy to test for any of the wires that you need then pay the money to have somebody do it for you. 

Driver's kick panel is exactly where it says it is.....in the driver's kick panel....where your left foot would sit as you drive.  unless you drive with both feet!

WOW, you guys really are cooky pet monkeyes, I know how to wire an alarm and I can find the wires at different places in the car, but I would like to find them within a foot of where I am installing the alarm. I am NOT asking how to identify wires, I AM asking where the driver's kick panel wiring harness that contains the colored wires that are listed in the vehicle diagram for a 97 tiburon, and please don't hijack my topic, if you want to pat each other on the back, or make yourself sound amazing to the other person do it in a PM. if you are not going to post where the specific wiring harness is that I am looking for, then don't post anything at all.

They're in the drivers kick panel.

WOW AGAIN, I thought I might get some stupid answers, but I thought someone would be helpful

I Obviously know where the driver's kick panel is ********, and I know that the wires are in the Driver's Kick panel

I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT CAN TELL ME BY EXPERIENCE WHERE THE SPECIFIC WIRE HARNESS THAT I NEED< IS AT WHAT PLACE IN THE DRIVERS KICK PANEL AND HOPEFULLY WITH PICTURES.

if you honestly think you are being helpful with answers like the driver's kick panel wiring harness is in the driver's kick panel, then you are obviously a little slow, so please be helpful and not sarcastic. thank you, if you can't tell me exactly which of the 10 harnesses in the kick panel I need or can't show me a picture of whcih one it is, then just don't post an answer, so far you all have only tried to answer questions I am NOT asking and have avoided the only one in which I have requested help.

You do realize that it would take a professional installer less then 5 minutes to find and verify the correct wires in the kick panel, right?  So, instead of spending a few minutes with a meter, you've spent 5 DAYS on an installers forum calling people names and generally being a jerk to the people you are asking for help.

We've answered your question multiple times - if you want more detailed information maybe you would be better off asking in a tiburon specific forum instead of a general 12vdc forum.

see, now that is a valid answer to the question. I would expect no replies before I would have expected people to tell me to use a multimeter or tell me where it is when the name gives me the same answer.

But that's the thing - you came to a professional installer site and asked for help.  We helped you by telling you to do what a professional would do.  When professional installers install alarms they don't have pictures, just a sheet of paper that may or may not have the correct wire color and general location.  To an installer, a DMM is their best friend.  You take whatever information you can get, grab your meter, and jump in until you find everything you need!  Sometimes you test 4 or 5 wires before you find the correct one, it's just a part of it.

I asked for help with a question, you guys ignored the question and answered what I already know, I figured with all the professional installers somebody would have some insight into that specific car, not how they would tell, but where they found the wire when they did this particular car. some of you answered because it feels good to help solve someone's problems espescially when you know more than they do, but I have only had that one posts even attempt to answer my question. thanks for the replies but I already know how to test wires, and just want car specific answers. if you can't help with 97 tiburon specific answers then thanks, but no thanks

I do have a digital multimeter, but I do not have the time to test the probably 60+ wires. that will work if I knew what harness it was and didn't know the color. thanks for the reply though.

Yet still he has time to waste sitting in front of his pc arguing with you guys.

being married with a child and living across town from my parents leaves me plenty more time in front of my pc, and on top of that it is a daily driver and can't be replaced, and the other day I got rained and had to stop and it will be another week or two before I can finish the wiring so i will spend plenty of time trying to get my question answered, BUT THANKS ANYWAY FOR YOUR USELESS 2 CENTS
