Alarm switch in door
Has anyone replaced the O/E (?) alarm switch in the door of a Carreara with any other type switch, is it just on/off?

It's got a specific resistance value. If the wrong walue is in the circuit, your fuel pump and starter are disabled, and the alarm goes off, if I remember correctly. The switch is inexpensive and easy to replace if you need to, or just wire in the proper resistor from radio shack.

I had to get a switch with keys from the dealer, it was about $100 or so.
