Disable aftermarket alarm ??
Ok, so I finally got my blazer unlocked, and hooked up a battery to it. I wanted to pop the back glass open, but instead i saw only a flashing red light and a beep as if I had the key in the ignition. Don't know if it disables ignition or not. Anything I should look for?

My buddy had an issue where the aftermarket alarm in his 2010 Honda civic kept going off and flashing the light, killing his battery. I poked around until I found the unit, unplugged it and he hasn't had an issue since. I couldn't imagine a 93 having a more advanced system installed than a 2010...
I'm pretty certain when installed, you don't cut any factory wires, but just splice into them. So with the unit removed the original wires should still be functional.
Try unplugging it and see if you still have ignition. If you don't, plug it back in until you can figure out the wiring
If it doesnt interupt the ignition circuit- problem solved.and you can clean up the wiring at your leisure

To be able to rule it out as any future problems, I would remove all the alarm system's wiring and repair anything messy. I'd leave the blinking LED on the dash and wire it to a hidden toggle switch to look like an armed alarm system.

Okay, I removed one 10 amp fuse and three 20 amp fuses that went to the alarm system. Now there's no giant beeping or blinking or flashing of the tail lights. I was able to locate the alarm under the dash but I'll have to do some more disassembly to actually unplug it. As of now I don't know if it has disabled anything because I don't have keys. Right now I'm trying to get the steering wheel off with my puller doesn't fit and I can't get it off

Okay after finally dealing with the stupid alarm system draining my battery I decided to remove it. The first thing I did was just unplug it. Then I realized, that there was no power to the ignition so I trace down the two wires and just connect them together to get the truck to start. After that, I noticed that my power door locks didn't work, so I looked at the wiring diagram and it shows a whole bunch of wires for the lock and unlock. Does anyone know what these lead to? or what color the door lock wires are?
