    Hi I recently purchased a lovely 328 however at some point in its life it obviously had an alarm fitted, it doesn't seem a good job was done at fitting or removing it!

    There is a thick blue wire (permanent live) coming out of the main loom which went to the thing in the photo which I assume was something to do with an alarm there was also a blue/red wire attached to it that goes to the driver door and interior light. Where should this thick blue wire from the main loom go and should the blue/red door wire be connected to the thick blue one?

    In addition to this the drivers side passenger window control up button is crudely soldered to a yellow wire of thick gauge the wire from the switch on the door is yellow/red of thinner gauge, this doesn't seem right either?

    First congrats on the new car!

    Ive taken a number of alarms and immobilisers out of my two toys. Quality of the installation on some is shocking; and no wonder they cause lots of issues!

    Can’t help with what the wires do; but if everything works, I’d just terminate them for the moment.

    You will have more luck posting in the 328 section. I’m sure somebody will be able to offer up a wiring diagram for you.

    There is also a white/red wire of thick gauge coming from a loom connector soldered to a thinner gauge red wire which goes off to the door ...this is switched live with ignition. Obviously I cam make a better connection between the two wires it just seems strange how the gauge and colour changes ?
