Toad alarm Q?

[eko]

My car is fitted with an old Toad A200plus alarm,certificate for fitting is 1998 so fairly old although it does still work ok.

All the functions such as central lock/window closure/immobiliser etc work fine.

Problem is;since swapping the engine to M50,the indicators dont flash on the alarm either when switching on/off or when the alarm is sounding?
They did work/flash fine when i got the car!

Also there is a `valet` switch on the dash which obviously changing settings on the alarm,but no instructions in the Toad handbook as to how many presses and for what function,anyone know about this?

Should add,indicators and hazards work fine for driving just not for alarm.

Anyone?

It's nothing directly caused by the engine swap. E30 indicator wires are blue/red and blue/black, so look for alarm connections to these.

Another thought! Do the indicator telltale lights in the cluster work OK?

Suppose above the glovebox is a good place to start?thats where the alarm control box is!

Yes

Correct place is at the big plug in the back left corner. Original pins in the plug should have been replaced by ones with second short leads coming out as well, ending in single pole sockets to connect to the alarm wires.

and the signal wires from the alarm to connect to these,do you know what colour they should be?
Black i spose

Black if it's Thatcham.
