Default Alarm Lights Flash When Arming DIY

Have not done a good write up for the community in a while, seen for a while how many people (including myself) have a OEM or aftermarket alarm and want the lights to flash when arming or disarming? I have found (3) different ways of doing this and this is option 1, my way.

**I DO NOT TAKE TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR VEHICLE WITH YOU WORKING WITH THE ELECTRICAL. I HAVE DONE THIS MYSELF AND KNOW THIS WORKED THE WAY I DID THIS.**

Supplies needed:
1 - 4pin 30amp car relay ($5 from auto parts store)
Wire (I used 16g wire)
Wire cutters
Wire strippers
Female spade connector
Wire tap (4 was what I used)
Electrical tape
Flash light
Flat Head
Screw Driver
Basic wiring knowledge
Cold beverage of your Choice

The Tear Down-
1. I began by removing the hazard switch from the center console, I removed my shift boot and was able to get space from underneath with a small flat head and carefully pushed the switch up from underneath.

2. With the switch removed you should now see (4) wires coming off the switch and isolate them for later.

3. Locate where the alarm brain is located (oem should be behind the glove box). Once you locate the alarm brain (We are going off OEM wiring harness, for aftermarket please find your Wiring diagram or contact manufacture) You will now need to find the HORN wire which was RED wire in the OEM harness, now isolate that wire and continue to the next section.

Prep-
1. Grab your 4pin Universal relay and grab (3) strands of wire, all 3 should be the same length (i did roughly 6-8inches) & 1 wire long enough to reach from the Alarm Brain wiring to the hazard switch area. One on end, splice and crimp a Female Spade connector on one end of the wire & strip the opposite side of the wire.

2. Now grab your wire taps and lets get to work. With the 4 wires you isolated off the hazard switch, run the wires so you can hide them under the console. Now grab the 4 wires you made earlier and tap them into the following wire:

Brown wire --> Goes to 86 Pin
Brown w/ Blue --> Goes to 87 Pin
White wire --> Goes to 30 Pin
RED WIRE (ALARM BRAIN) --> Goes to 85 Pin

Clean all your wiring up and wrap it with either heat shrink or electrical tape. With all said and done you should now be able to arm you vehicle and VIOLA! Your vehicles lights should flash now.
