Car Alarm deinstallation on RHD FD, Need Help

Hi everyone,

i restaurate my 93 RZII right now and i'm about to deinstall the not working Toad Car Alarm. This turns out to be a little bit more Hassle than expected...
The Alarm was fitted in UK after importing the Car from Japan and they did a terrific job

To control the indicators the installed some relais, cut all the oem wiring, soldered their alarm controller in place and covered the mess with some insulation tape.
Some Pics to give you an idea



One of the relais



I already managed to Crimp most of the cut wires back together with proper Tyco Duraseal Connectors but some are still left and i struggle to find them in the Wiring diagram.

Theres a red and a blue cut wire left. Those seem to route behind the center console. Any Ideas where i can find this in the wiring diagram?


Theres also a bulb soldered to one of the strands coming from behind the combination switch, i can't imagine that this is stock.


Is this ground point stock? And if so: what is grounded to this point? Right now there are only two cut wires...


Does anyone has a RHD Wiring Diagram?

This about 1/3 of the alarm wiring i removed from the car so far..


Thanks.

Hey

i am based in uk and done this job with a faulty Clifford alarm. It was spliced everywhere! And honestly you are better off pulling the dash out and doing everything properly. Any exposed wire left can be the cause of an electrical issue. I found this out the hard way and ended up pulling out the dash that way you can trace all non factory wires and remove them properly.

its worth the hassle trust me.
