I've been very slowly doing a few small things to my fd including installing a new alarm. I'm having some issues with the passenger power lock and the driver side window switch. The window switch stopped working immediately after taking the old alarm out, so i don't think the switch is done just yet. I'm pretty close to insanity now and was wondering if by some chance anyone in the brampton area would like to give it a go. I can't spend much money on this car until the spring, but I've got plenty of beer if someone decides to help.

I am very much regretting not getting it installed professionally, but at the same time I don't think future shop employees appreciate this car enough to give them my keys.

Any little bit of help will be greatly appreciated, even just stopping by and having a look at the situation.

 

Did they work before you installed the alarm? i wouldn't mind helping out but majority of my knowledge is Honda and Fc's lol

 

I figured out the windows. I took the switch apart and put a heat gun to the circuit board until the solder softened up a bit, then I let it cool down. That worked so i'm pretty good with the windows. I also added an actuator to the passenger door. It works, however I was not aware that my car has a factory alarm therefore I didn't bypass it. I'm hoping there's some kind of relay or harness I can just unplug to disable the factory security system. Otherwise, I'm screwed.

 

There should be a power supply for it somewhere that you can disconnect. If you have to owner's manual look for a fuse for it. Better yet, if you can get a hold of a wiring diagram for the system it will tell you for sure.
