Alarm / immobiliser removal .....problems.
Discussion
Hi all .....seeing as the dashboard is out i thought I'd strip out the old alarm and immobiliser ........what a mess .
The immobiliser was no problem except having to do some surgery to the butchered ignition wiring and a bit of tracing of random wiring .
This brings me onto the alarm .
First off its a Laser line 912 alarm , were these fitted as standard to any TVR S cars ?
The reason I ask is because I've pretty much unwrapped most of the wiring harnesses and am unable to find any cut ins or splices , it's almost like the looms have been made with this alarm controller catered for .
Am I ok to just remove the control box ?
The klaxon has been removed and the plug taped off .
Also , I found this relay next to the controller plug , some of the controller plug wires are directly wired to it , is this standard for our cars or is it part of the alarm system ? .....my basic Italian says it looks like a central locking relay ....after all Laser line was an Italian company .
Now I'm not an idiot when it comes to wiring but this one really has got me scratching my head . The " wiring diagram " for the alarm is ridiculous and the wiring colours on it don't bare any resemblance to what's on the car or plug .
Any advice / tips welcome please .

Cheers for that information , I did notice that the colours appeared correct , the crush on connectors appear to be a crude way of fusing the wiring , they both have 5 amp fuses.
As for ripping it out , I'm not sure where to rip it out to , some of the connections go direct to the fuse board .......I'm not sure I want to just cut the wires and terminate them .
I don't want an alarm at all ....TVR wiring is flaky at the best of times ........
Like I said it's weird .....it actually looks like part of the loom .
Is it just a case of following each cable back from the controller connector to its ending and removing ?
I've never seen so many unused plugs behind a dashboard.....this makes Triumph wiring look like precision electrics ..!!!

I'll have to wait until I start rebuilding the steering column until I try and check for an immobiliser circuit on the alarm .
I removed the other laser line immobiliser and repaired the cut ignition wiring.
The alarm was totally inactive and I THINK the alarm was the alarm and the immobiliser the was the immobiliser if you get my drift ?
I'll have to wait and see .
Cheers for your help .

Hi Damian , on removing the alarm there were no heavy duty feed cables that went to the alarm control box connector so I'm not sure the alarm was in use as an immobiliser on any power feed circuits.
The immobiliser I removed previously , which was not connected to the alarm system , did have a cut in to the ignition and coil circuit .
The fuel pump used to spin over even when the immobiliser was not activated so I think the alarm had no input . Hopefully !!
I'll have to wait and see if I've bu**ered anything up with the electric windows once everything is back together.

Hi all ...alarm out and a mass tidy up / repair of the abysmal mess that is the wiring loom carried out .
Quick question though ....does anyone know what this part of the instrument / warning lights loom is for ? It wasn't connected to anything on dash removal and I'm unable to trace it on the wiring diagrams ....the green is for indication lighting but God knows what the yellow / black is for !!
It's not really important. ..just out of interest really .
Any ideas ?
