K, i installed this alram my self and I'm not really that great in this area, i know some of my sh*t, but not a specialist or anything...lol<p>K, so when u hit ur alarm to go on or off, the lights usually blink , or if the alarm is set off they blink, but now, for some reason they don't??? They used to always blink when i hit the alarm. I checked the wire, but it was fine...what esle can i check?? Are there any fuses that could affect this ???<p>Also, if i get fog lights and just hook them up to a + and - wires, will they work?? I want them so they come on when i put my lights on at night.<p>thanx for the help guys in advance :D<p>[ March 16, 2003: Message edited by: DVH ]</p>

most good fog lights come with the stuff to make em come on with ur headlights. as for the alarm try resetting it if that doesn't work its a fuse or a wire

thanx, for the info, i know its not a wire, so it must be a fuse.....i'll try lookin on tuesday<p>As for the foglights, here 's what i got, a + and - wire that are free and not being used....they used to be used for my side markers, but pakfiefer does not make a spot of the side on their front bumper, so like i said i have + and - wires. Can i just hook these to the fog lights and they should work right?? :shrug:<p>[ March 16, 2003: Message edited by: DVH ]</p>

sure -- there MIGHT be a power limit so be weary of that -- a relay just to be safe?

The white wire(most alarms) that comes of your alarm hooks up to the parking lights. That should have a fuse on it. It might of grounded out and blown a fuse. to make sure that there is nothing wrong with ur alarm, check it with a meter to see if when u arm the alarm the white wire sends voltage to the parking lights off the alarm!!!!!
You can also use a test light...

Follow that wire to the alarm brain see if that fuse is blown, if it isnt then its something wrong with the brain!!!!
