Why not just rip it out?
Its fairly easy to trace the wires and guess what they do, if it's aftermarket most of them are poorly installed and easier to do.

I have the alarm out of the car I don't want to hotwire and end up blown it up I'm just looking to find out where each number wire gos. I was hoping somebody on here would be able to tell me or have a wiring diagram for the other foxgard that is similar to this one. I think it's the F18E?

[cosisman]

I know there is three ground wires and I have one of the lives but there has to be another seed as the system will not power up. There's a couple of colored wires on the block of 10 which I know goes to the central locking the rest are all black. If I knew what number was another life and possibly more than one I would figure it out?

[Belle427]

Don't think Tvr ever used the black loom so you won't really get the info here.
Plus you being new that sort of info isn't really given out.
Hope you get it sorted though, any decent auto spark would have that out in 30 mins.

Thanks for your vote of confidence.

It's a crappy old aftermarket alarm fitted to a Cossie, the fuel pump live will have been spliced under the driver's side bottom door kick panel thing and everything else will be spliced, cable tied and obvious above the pedals and under the steering cowling. Just do yourself a favour, rip it all out and join the same coloured wires back together.

Once you've pulled it out you will know how the loom works and you'll be able to stick something newer in there that works.

Classic internet uninformed opinion, they were by far the best alarm we fitted at the time and the first manufacturer to offer a glass breakage detector, Cobra the market leaders that everyone wanted were rubbish by comparisson.

But one bit you got right it is old............

There is:

perm live
ign switched live
earth
optional second earth

All on the larger plug.

I assume you have a siren that plugs into the white socket?

[Belle427]

on the colour coded loom the following applies, obviously there may be differences.

14 way connector

12 vo!t permanent
12 volt ignition
Negative
Immobiliser cut
Indicator outputs
Door contact signal
Dash Led

10 way connector

Central locking outputs
Immobiliser cut
Maybe a Negative (unsure)

On your 14 way in addition there is:
Boot/bonnet switch
Fan run on
External micro/ultrasonic feed
Optional second earth

On the 10 way in addition to the central locking there is total closure and external siren, no earth for alarm, just central locking supply.

Disagree with the Cobra thing its why Suburu and Mitsubishi used them in CAT 1 form for UK factory fit in the late 90's > I have fitted loads of Cobra alarms over many years (all non CAN) and my Chimaera inc and 16 years later with only so much as fob battery changes

Purchased from an online car audio specialists IIRC & fitted by me the one in my TVR was top of the range @ the time, the microwave interior sensor when armed is fantastic with the roof down until you put your hand into the cabin space yet never false alarms useful for me has the roof is always down

Fair enough Simon, but given that you know full well what we did for a living I may have to throw my joker in for this one

Thanks everyone for your replies and information.
I got a word and diagram from the alarm company. Very helpful I have to say and thank you to him.
I'm just wondering would anyone here the door glass glass moldens for the Sierra sapphire. I think we all know what I'm talking about the mold and that sits to the glass and fit around the frame of the door. I'm looking for two front ones. I try put a picture up here so everyone know what I'm talking about.
