i have wanted a fake car alarm (just a blinking red light) for a while. now i ordered some blinking red lights the problem i have is making them blink when the car is off.

I have two options:

1. Wire the positive to a constant positive power like the battery and the negative to the igition switch.

2. wire the positive to the battery and the negative to a negative point on the car and throw in a switch.

My question is, has anyone done this and how have you done it. If you had piks can you please send them. If not im pretty good with the wiring, i just wanna see how yall have done this if you have.

 

I think my SS has something on the dash that already blinks when my car is locked.

 

All you guys with power locks and windows.........

 

That's right ^

 

Yeah, G5's all came standard with them.

So Cobalt's got Forced Induction.

Bastards.

 

huh? standard on what

 

All US G5's came standard with Power Locks, Windows and Keyless Entry.

 

I did this back when I had my stratus.. very simple:

Find something in your fuse panel that gets power when the ignition is off and DOESNT get power when you turn the ignition on. And the other to a ground. I can't remember what got power when the car was off (maybe a clock/radio or something) but just search around with a test light.
