1977 Built in Alarm system

[cjpck44]

Thanks for looking at this. I just bought a 77 L-82 (my first Corvette and I love her) and it came with its own alarm system. I would like to put in a more modern one and am interested if anyone knows how to remove the old alarm system from the command module? I don't want to physically take it out, just remove the wires necessary for right now.

Thanks,
Chris C.

Under the center console, there are two modules that control the alarm and might be able to be disconnected. There is a post at http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6740 that has a discussion mixed in with all the rest on this issue.

Thanks a lot Bob. This guy before me looks like he had a lot of fun with a few of the wires. Even put in a couple of jumpers with fuses at the fuse box. Going through and straightening that all out but this is my first experience with this alarm system going to every hood latch, door, t-top latch and all. Just wondering, does yours work?

No. I replaced one of the relays under the console and then decided that I am going to add a keyless system. I'm just going to leave it alone.

If you don't have one, you need to get an electrical book on the car. They are on Ebay all the time. I think I paid 10 or 15 bucks for mine. Due the occasional search for 1977 Corvette and you will eventually find it.

Good luck with the electrical. It's not exactly my favorite area to work on.
