Quasi-Traction

A co-worker of mine just bought a 2004 Suzuki (aero?...I forget the name). Periodically when driving or when she first starts the car. it'll make a couple "chirps" like one was setting an alarm. She said when she bought it, she never was given an alarm fob. Basically what I'm looking for is a way to disable its power source, so it stops doing that.

I only briefly looked at earlier today. I couldn't see an alarm trumpet in the engine bay, but I did find a little flashing red light under the dash, and traced the wires as far as I could. There are no speakers on the package tray by the rear window, so I'm guessing, this might have something to do with the alarm. Maybe a "shock sensor" in the trunk? (my camaro has my alarm sensor above the pass rear wheel well).

I couldn't find any fusable links coming off the battery cables, so maybe a relay off the starter, or somewhere with a key-on 12v source?

Any help you guys can offer is appreciated, I just don't have any experience, and would like to help her out, so she doesn't have to take it someone.

If it has any kill relays those will need to be removed and the wires hooked back together factory again once you kill the alarm.

That's the issue, you can't just kill the brain or you'll kill the whole car. You need to find what and where they spliced and reconnect it all back together.

I have done a couple alarm removals and it is neither quick nor easy.

It'll probably just have its own wires spliced into your factory wiring. You'll know when you start tracing how much work its going to be to repair. You might get lucky and just have to unwrap some tape and pull the spliced alarm's wires off.

I have no idea about the prior owners, so I don't know if this was taken to a shop to be done or done by the prior owner or what. Reguardless, I'd like to go in with as much knowledge as I can find. No hack-jobs here.

So the thought that I was trying to get across earlier seems to have been misinterpreted.

This thought is worth what you paid for it and no offense intended:

-This is a car built by a dirtbike company out of old Daewoo parts, so it is depreciating rapidly and will certainly explode in a few months.
-You just want to make it stop chirping so you can get in this girl's pants.
-You should just cut the damn siren wires. Cool

Alternately, if you want to see this girl long-term, you may consider taking this car to Car Toys or a local shop and trying to get a fob for it so that the alarm's functionality can be restored.

Oh oh oh I know this one! Lol if it has a starter kill setup it will be easy to spot. Look for a 5 pin relay that doesn't belong, that's it. Disconnect the power and ignition wires and then cut the starter kill out and reconnect the 2 ends of the starter wire together. Go on the12volt.com for wire colors and find them.

As Aaron said if you want you may be able to get a fob programmed to it, next time you are under the dash let me know what the brand/model is and I can hopefully give you wire colors to find and cut
