alarm install in a 2002 neon problem
hey, i'm trying to install an alarm in my 2002 neon but run into a problem
with the voltage sensing part of it. in the alarm the wire that powers the alarm is supposed to go into the dome light fuse and sense varying voltage when the doors are opened. in my 02 neon, this fuse doesn't change voltage when the dome light is on. so opening the door doesn't trip the alarm. i have located a wire that is positive when the light is off and goes completley negative when the light comes on, but i dont think i can use it because when it goes negative, the alarm wil die. the real problem that i know nothing about it the dome light had a dimmer on it and a delay for when you shut the doors. i don't know if i need to find the dimmer module and splice a wire there of if the whole thing is hopeless. does anyone know what i can do, or if there is another wire i can splice to that is +12 volts and varys when the light comes on? any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Daniel |

You might give it a test by hooking up to the pos. terminal as far away from
the battery as you can...the voltage to anything in the car would come from this terminal. There are generally two wires off of the pos. terminal the one for the starter and then another going to a solenoid. One of these will have to be what your clock and other constant power needs. Not sure what it would be on the neon but try these one of them should work just for the voltage sensing.

voltage sensing alarms suck in general. Get yourself a real alarm with a door trigger and shock sensor and call it a day.
