question on alarm install

[97rs]

i am in the process of installing my matrix rs2 alarm system using bfrankers install instructions on his website. i bought the alarm used on ebay and what I cant figure out is what the 5 relays go to that came with the alarm.

woah dude, i had that alarm in my S-10.

I sent it to a professional installer, and i can tell you that straight up, it took a PROFESSIONAL, who has done like 10 or 12 of those alarms, 7 full hours to install it.


i dropped my truck off at 9am, and it was done at 4pm. and i was there when he did it. he worked all day.


i wouldnt mess with that ****. ive done stereos before, and i know a LOT about car wiring, but alarms are too touchy to mess with for me. you splice the wrong wire, and your **** wont work.


id take it somewhere and get it done.

Maybe the relays are for the keyless entry feature? And a 5thn to pop the hatch? i donno. Just guessing. I bought my alarm for $200 new off Ebay and paid a shop $80 to install it. Best $80 I ever spent.... but if really want to go at it yourself, maybe this will help:

Starter - Yellow*
Ignition - Pink*
Acc (heater blower)- Orange*
Acc - Brown*

* heavy gauges wires in ignition switch harness located under the dash by the steering column

Passlock wires - 2 small guage wires in oranging sheathing near ignition harness

Brake wire - Light Blue(+) - at brake switch or wire harness running by the door sill

Reverse wire - light green wire (+) in white harness in passenger kickpanel)
