Disarming the car alarm! Help needed.

**civicluv** · 27-09-2009 01:00 PM

I really dont want to get any more water/moisture in it when i think it was the water that set it off in the first place. when i get home i got to try and find this fuse to disable it. if it goes off again then i'll just stick the fuse back in and get the tow truck to take it down to the auto electrician. i just have no idea what the fuse or fuse box for the alarm looks like.

All you can do then is get some long nose pliers and pull em' out 1 by 1 and see if one of them stops it.

Frustrating.

i was told the alarm has its own fuse box. so thats the fuse box i've been looking for, the alarm fuse box.

Follow the wiring from the alarm to the control unit. Then from the control unit, there should be wiring to an inline fuse and then to the battery.

So in saying that, the fuse should be close to the battery and not hidden under the dash somewhere in the maze of wires?

I's just like to say thanks to everyone for there help. after venturing even more into the depths of wires i ended up find the control box for the alarm. I pulled out all the plugs that went into the alarm and then plugged them all back in. The alarm went off again, pressed the button on my keys and it stoped and so far it hasnt started back up again.

so once again thanks ot you all.

Not really. Depends where its installed in the engine bay. I had exactly the same problem with my alarm on the Crx. It was directly below a low point under the bonnet. ie whenever it rained, water found its way under the bonnet to the low spot and then dripped directly on the alarm unit. This somehow shorted it out and set it off without warning, when it dryed out it was fine again. Maybe your problem is simular to mine. I ended up making a cover for mine and all was good after that.

Heres a photo. Cover is top left in engine bay. The aluminium cover.
