Aftermarket alarm install (wire locations)

ShowStoppinGT · Jun 8, 2011

I have an alarm system with keyless entry that I want to install, but the problem is locating all the required wires. I read the sticky thread that MECP posted, but the pictures are not showing up... can anyone else see them? Anyway, I spent all last night, and all day today, searching on here and on google where exactly the wires are located on the 2000 Eclipse GT but I keep finding different results.

For example, after searching on here I found that the ignition wire at the12volt.com is black/red, on family.raminal.com it is blue/red and on other user posts it is green. Same for other wires.

Basically I need to know where the following 7 wires are:
Ignition
Parking Light
Door Trigger +
Door Trigger -
Horn Out
Lock Out
Unlock Out
(see pic below)

I'll do some testing with a meter tomorrow, but please give me some replies (or pics?) as soon as possible because I will start working on it within 10 hours. Thanks.

Here is the wiring diagram that came with the alarm:

I used this:
Eclipse 00-02 Manual

Ignition - (steering column)
Parking Light - below ETACS
Door Trigger + don't need this.
Door Trigger - below ETACS (same as parking light i think?)
Horn Out - i didn't use this.
Lock Out - no idea what is this ???????
Unlock Out - no idea what is this ???????

Thanks. Looks like all of those match the wire colors on family.raminal.com as someone posted in another thread (MECP I believe).

Well I guess I need Lock/Unlock Out for the keyless entry.
Plus, if someone prys the door open, or unlocks it from the inside (with the window down) it's supposed to trigger the alarm.

That's what I figured. Does anyone happen to have pictures for the install, or pictures that show exactly where the wires are

Err. I might be able to take some pictures of some locations. But I used the wiring diagram for some. Let me pull out the wiring diagram first.

Question: You want to install it because you want the aftermarket alarm? Not because of the keyless entry right?

Great, thanks man. And thanks for putting up those pics in the sticky thread... those helped a lot. I think I've located all the wires using a meter, now comes the fun part of installing it.

And to answer your other question, I do want both alarm and keyless entry so that I dont have to carry two key fob's around and unlock/lock both of them when approaching/leaving the car.

I'm getting a security system soon and don't want to get ripped off at an audio install place paying $300 to install. I'm just worried about tapping into all the correct wires. Let me know how your install goes!

The post I made in there is the DEI direct wire page for this car. It tells you everything you need to know. Just in case anyone comes across this thread using the search button.
