deciphering the previous alarm and the Central Locking System



Again, I've found that I left something out (forgive me - it's been a long
week):

the previous alarm was already wired directly to the central locking
switch - whether or not there was a solenoid there, I'm not sure (kinda
stupid since I was in there only a couple of weeks ago when I installed my
new speakers...). Two leads only which leads back into my first message (the
two pole, no fuse, relayed puzzle).

Again, thanks for the advice - Jeff
