1982 CE alarm

[David K.]

Is there a good place to start looking for the problem when the alarm on a 1982 Collectors Edition does not work? It will not set and does not trip the alarm from any area (Hood, door, t-top, etc). Is there a common problem with these alarms? There are no other electrical problems with the car that I am aware of at this time.

No fuse problems that would have been too easy.

Is there a way to test the Theft Deterrent Control Module?

David,
No way to test alarm module, best is to find a know working one and swap. I had the same problem and had a heck of a time tracking down the issues all switches etc worked but it came down to a faulty passenger door pin, even though out of the car it checked out fine. Good luck tracking it down.

Did the faulty door pin cause it not to work at all, with any of the other areas?

Yes the fault pin caused it not to work at all.
