Anybody have a wiring diagram for the Piranha SCM16 or if not that particular one maybe another model will use the same wires.

Have a problem when arming the system, the left hand indicators stay on occasionally and flatten the battery if i don't notice it and disarme/arm again. :-x

Piranha no longer exist, so i can't get one from them.

Any help appreciated.

Don't have any wiring diagrams for Piranha alarms, but the indicator connections are usually two identical coloured wires from the alarm unit.
They will go to blue/red and blue/black wires in the E30 loom at the back of the glovebox if the alarm was fitted properly by someone who knew what he was doing, or probably somewhere around the steering column if it was a cowboy installation.
Problem will be a dodgy relay in the alarm box. Open it up and you should be able to identify the relay by its clicking when the indicators flash.

Cheers.
The alarm was fitted by a reputable garage prior to me owning the car. I've seen some of the wires as you say above the passenger footwell.
I'll check them out while i'm fitting my new speakers and cables.

But if it is a Thatcham approved alarm, all of the wires from the alarm/Immob should be black.
