Hi Looking for some advice on removing the alarm on a pre serp Griffith (93)
Got a Griffith at the start of the year and it ran fine for 3 weeks and been trying to fix it since then
Fuel pump not priming , so hot wired it , engine cranking but spark plugs dry
Thinking that maybe the alarm has cut the power to the ECU and that’s why it not running
Part of the issue is that someone has been busy with the wire cutters behind the dash
So best just to remover the compleat alarm/imobliser system
Any advice much appreciated

The original Meta alarm/immobiliser is under the dash fixed to the bulkhead and has a siren on the ns inner wing and a proximity detector under the whale tail. Ask on here for immobiliser bypass instructions, but be aware that if you remove the alarm the door locking wil not function.

Isn't the pre-serp more likely to have the Foxguard alarm?

I have details somewhere for the foxguard bypass wires, can't help with it's location on the Griff but probably as above.
I didn't try just bypassing mine but removed it, I'm guessing you can just bypass the immobiliser cuts and let the locking still function.
This company used to repair the modules so that may bean option for you.
