I’d like the wiring diagram too please. As above, mine is working fine at the moment but I only have one active fob. I’m also based in the US so finding an expert could be tricky!
You can have up to 4 two button remotes synced to a Foxguard alarm, Bridgewater Electronics (Collin) still sell them.Adding them on is simple a DIY job.

Just last week I had my foxguard checked over by bridgewater electronics. I was told it was faulty by a central specialist but bridgewater told me everything works correctly in the alarm unit. Had an original key fob remote repaired so now have 2 working originals. The main unit had an upgrade fitted within. Colin and Gareth, both good fellas to speak to. Advice was to check the vehicle wiring, firstly all plug connections and then continuity if problems still persist.
These alarm units really are very good, but they are very sensitive to poor supply/earth.If the alarm is not wired to work on voltage drop I would run a fused live and earth direct to the battery, eyelets on the battery nuts, solder at the other end.
Switch clean the 10/14 way multi plugs and join the loom close to the alarm plugs.
Make sure there isn't a valet keysitch plugged into the black socket, if there is do away with it.

I’ve had a few random wire issues but I seem to be on top of those now. Today was test time with the alarm unit plugged in with a fresh battery and success. Alarm immobiliser circuits working correctly now with the engine firing up without bypassing the immobilised circuits
Mission accomplished

Would anyone have a Worden diagram for a fox guard care alarm FG1?
Not all Foxguard alarms came with wiring diagrams, some were professional fit only, some had tagged looms.If it is an F-series and has the 10/14 way sockets as shown in the photos above a wiring diagram for an Foxguard F18E is very similar.
Failing that I think someone above has offered to tell you what is what if you post the cable colours if you have no luck.
I realise not all foxgard alarms come with wiring diagrams. Yes there's 14 pins on one block and 10 on the other mine are all black words coming out of the main block and some on the smaller block. I'm wondering what anyone have the numbers and where they go as in live earth so on and so forth.

The black loom is a Thatcham requirement to make it harder for a thief to disable the alarm.Are you saying there are words printed on the actual cables near the plugs, if so what do they say?
We were Foxguard agents/installers I seem to remember they had tags that were cut off during the installation, but that was 25 odd years ago so it could be my memory playing tricks on me.
If the OP has other photos showing the colours and positions that should be fairly easy to work out, the layout is the same on all of them.
This company are very helpful, they still deal with foxguard systems and may provide a diagram.

I can't help much other than giving you the colours for the system I removed, if you could get a better photo of the connectors you may be able to work it out.

I had this alarm in my Sierra cosworth and it was taken out and the cables were never marked as you know it's all black wires. So I'm looking to see if anybody knows on the 14 block from one to 14 where each number goes. And on the 10 block most of them are black wires also so I need to know where each were goes or what it does. I know number one on the 14 block is grounds and number eight is live. Just basically need someone to tell me where each number goes or what it does I know there's more than one life gone to the alarm box. so if I knew all the live wires and earth I would figure it out
