Sorry about the title but i am installing the alarm in my car...
everything is done, works perfectly, however, i need to hook the (+) indicator wire up to the idcators.

I figured that i could just hook it up to the hazard switch but on inspection i noticed that it has uber amounts of wires.

One is a constant (+12V) the others are inactive. Upon button depress (hazard buutton that is) the rest alternate in voltages... which wire do i hook it up to?????

Thanx!

under the steering column, you will find the wires going to the ind stalk, you need to put one side on at a time, probe the wires with a test light, when you find the test light flash, turn the indicators to the other side and it should stop flashing if it does not keep looking, then repeat for the other side (from memory green with black and green with yellow).
Not sure if its making sense but it is abit hard to explain on a keyboard.
You only want the test light to flash on one side at a time

If the alarm has two ind wires, these go to each of the two ind wires.
If the alarm has only one wire for ind you will need 2 diodes to split the circuit.

You could do it at a few places but if it is at the hazard switch the left indicator is the light blue wire on term 5 or the right a blue wire on term 6 of the switch you need to use a 2 diodes so there is no back feed and the indicators work in their normal operation when driving.

You may not need the diodes, if the alarm has 2 outputs, most do.
