Instructions

How to Uninstall a Car Alarm

1. Turn your car off, and make sure your key is out of the ignition.

2. Find the alarm unit within your car's panel. You may know where your unit is, or it can be found easily in your car's manual.

3. Find all of the wires that connect to the alarm unit, once you find the unit itself. When handling the wires, use gloves to protect your hands from potential electrical shock.

4. Group all of the wires together on one side, and find the identifying marks from the start of the wires. Locate which wires connect to the dash controls and the alarm switches.

5. Cut the wires carefully at the end attached to the alarm. Cut the wires less than an inch from the alarm. It should take no more than 2 or 3 firm cuts to get through the wire.

6. Set the other connected ends of the wires aside, and remove the alarm slowly with both hands, carrying it gingerly out of the car.

7. Run the car to make sure the uninstallation was completed successfully, and tape or tie the additional wires out of the way, or remove them.
