This is all from memory, but here's my recollection of how we removed it:

- There was no keypad in the car. The ribbon cable that ysed to be connected to the keypad was hard-wired into the alarm brain, and strung thru by the gauges. We just threaded it back into the trunk area.
- There was a starter cut-off relay that intercepted a largeish yellow wire to the rear of the fuse panel. We removed the relay, and patched in a hunk of 10ga wire, because the original wires wouldnt reach to be soldered back together.
- There was a wire tapped into the trunk light switch. Pretty simple to remove.
- There was a trunk latch trigger. We just disconnected the wire - haven't yet removed the switch.
- There was another relay inside the smugglers box, for the alarm air horn pump. We removed the air horn, the pump, and the relay.
- There was a power lead that ran directly from the brain to the battery.
- There was a ground lead the I think was screwed into a fender or something.

Basically, just be careful, and chase every wire coming out of the brain, properly disconnect it, patching any circuit interruptions caused by relays back together.

Oh, and don't dislodge the fuel pump relay!

Cheers!
