Hotwire It

The truck wouldn't start this morning and I had a feeling the alarm was dead. Doug at San Diego Auto Repair said to look in the steering column for a wire that been bypassed...and splice it back together. I did it and was able to start the truck! Opening the door without turning off the alarm still makes a lot of noise and you still need a key to start the truck, but the alarm "ignition kill" was malfunctioning, and has been eliminated. The more I know about car alarms the more I don't trust them.
