**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jun 22 02:59:57 2007 Jun 22 21:17:51 hi NAiL , get a disk yet? Jun 22 21:18:46 no Jun 22 21:19:14 anyways, I've been too busy trying to figure out how to install a car alarm in my benz Jun 22 21:19:46 ;) Jun 22 21:19:55 btw, has dwery spoken to you? Jun 22 22:04:17 oh hi, stepped away for a bit. no dwery yet. Jun 22 22:05:13 i see he's away over on the other list. Jun 22 22:05:23 You wouldn't happen to be an expert on the wiring in a '87 w124 benz? :-P Jun 22 22:05:38 you need a manual or something? Jun 22 22:05:46 Kinda Jun 22 22:05:52 do you need a car alarm in norway???? Jun 22 22:06:10 i can see if i can find you a manual here. should be easy. Jun 22 22:06:15 Well, it's not as much for the alarm as it is for the keyless entry/engine start Jun 22 22:06:24 ah, slick factor! Jun 22 22:06:37 and cold, i presume (-; Jun 22 22:07:05 hey, how was soltice up there? it was still light enough to find my ball (golf term) at nearly 9pm here. Jun 22 22:15:04 nearly 9pm? What about 24 hours a day? ;) Jun 22 22:15:30 youre close to that, right? Jun 22 22:15:40 cool (probably a little not cool, too) Jun 22 22:16:47 The sun is down 3.5 hours, I believe. But it's still not "dark" Jun 22 22:18:20 i'm traveling to see my wife and kids over the weekend, and will be working from kentucky next week. i'll take a look for dwery. could you forward him my email address? Jun 22 22:18:27 an email conversation might be best. Jun 22 22:19:59 sure Jun 22 22:23:32 thanks. hopefully we can move the ball. i'm a bit disappointed with what's happened. oh well. people are busy, i know i am.... Jun 22 22:34:54 yeah Jun 22 22:35:01 * NAiL goes nuts Jun 22 22:35:07 The wiring doesn't make sense Jun 22 22:40:43 I have five wires labeled "Constant power", "ACC", "ON 1", "ON 2" and "START". But no idea where to connect them :-\ Jun 22 22:40:53 well, "Constant power" is easy enough actually. Jun 22 23:03:31 want me to look for a book? it would be next week. is '87 benz w124 enough info? Jun 22 23:07:00 That should be enough info. It's the 1987 Mercedes Benz 124-series Sedan. If you are given model choices (shouldn't really matter) it's a "200". Jun 22 23:07:10 (Not 200E or E200. Just 200) Jun 22 23:07:31 The w124-cars are pretty similar though Jun 22 23:07:37 Where are you going to be looking? Jun 22 23:08:58 (I have a Haynes book on my car, but it's not helping unfortunately) Jun 22 23:19:44 i dunno. i'm gonna be seeing my father in law who knows about such things. i'll also be in the land of distressed cars - the southeast US (-; Jun 22 23:20:12 there are auto supply stores everywhere there. i'll just swing in and look at their books. oh, i also know a guy i can call, hold on... Jun 22 23:23:54 If he knows w124 wiring, he might know where to connect those five wires ;) Jun 22 23:23:59 NAiL, my mechanic friend in town here might have the right book. he'll let me photograph pages. can you give me more info on which part of the wiring? Jun 22 23:24:29 The part of the wiring that I need is the ignition switch Jun 22 23:24:38 unfortunately, i couldn't make it by closing time today (just 35 minutes away). but I CAN get over there in about a week. Jun 22 23:26:13 My alarm has five wires that is supposed to be connected to the ignition switch. They are marked "constant power", "acc", "on1", "on2" and "start". The wiring from the ignition switch doesn't have any such markings, and the wiring diagram in my Haynes-book isn't good enough that I can figure out where to connect the wires. Jun 22 23:27:14 okay. got it. if you can wait a week.... Jun 22 23:28:17 i have a file on you now (-; Jun 22 23:28:27 hehe Jun 22 23:28:48 I have asked in a forum too. No idea if anyone can answer though ;) Jun 22 23:38:43 oh well, give me a nudge when you find something. I'll point dwery to your mail address. My champagne glass is quickly growing empty ;) Jun 22 23:38:54 (We're celebrating our engagement) Jun 22 23:39:06 so. I'm off. Later ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jun 23 02:59:57 2007
