Thread: removing alarm = risky?

I found out that the stalling car problems must be the Texalarm that was left in the car, and they decided to not give the neato batteried box for on the keyring and rip just the alarmhorn and left all the crap behind in the car. (so it must be dumbass doing it, because u can add 100 easy for a working alarm) also, some parts are shorting, some are totally broken and some connections are not soldered and for sure making bad connection. Just another messy car, but, the dumbass dude did manage to get the alarm working, though I'm not surprised he removed the alarmhorn for a lot of fake alarms, just because he used crap material and didn't do it properly to stand time.

This is causing the trouble. It is no option to not remove it.

So, the 'dumbass' must be smarter then me, this is why:

There are like 30 wires on the alarm and 4 connectors. There are probably less wires cut in the car but it's clear it can and will take away the ignition or ignition signal.

Now I wonder if there is risk involved. One risk I already know, also bc I never did it before and it's not my car, removing the alarm leaves the car in a non-working state and all I can do then is restore the original wiring.

I'm wondering I can blow up something with it that is not a fuse or destroy something that I probably won't find.

I would appreciate a few 'half answers' or just tips and hints and what to look for, like which colour wire does what and what will for sure destroy more then I try to repair.

The 'alarmECU' was placed at the drivers side behind that panel next to the drivers feet.

Anything will do!

p.s. Any ideas on how to 'fix' this on the 'other side' (where the alarm does it's now quite annoying no ignition work) so maybe just cutting 2 wires (safe and can be restored easy and won't blow up ****) because then I just leave the alarm in, owner won't mind. Just ECU error 21 needs to go and the car will be reliable!

yes, you should not remove your alarm yourself unless you really know what your doing. Take it to a local car audio place and they can fix all of your problems for a very low price I am sure.

I've decided to do it myself. I was totally looking over my totaled Nx with proper cabling as an example, using tape and mark things and that should be doable!

Of course I'll be soldering the stuff en isolating it, or else it will be another ignition breaker circuit, and that's just dangerous for the driver on a busy road for example.
