(Probably just reseating the connector took care of the problem.)

I would imagine that jumpering the purple wire to the purble/green wire would accomplish the same thing. Now you can remove the relay and little the car up a little.

Or put a kill switch in by cutting the red wire and wiring to +12 via a toggle switch, or secondary key.

Which got me to thinking, why not find the wire coming out of the alarm that triggers the K38 relay? Tie it to ACC and be done. No need for cluster removal.
I had the cluster out since my odometer was not working, fixed both at the same time...

I liked to do it this way in case the next owner decides to fix the alarm correctly...if i it gives me trouble, i will make it more permanent...The reason for this write-up is to document in pictures the wonderful advice given to me here, and to help some other people also who might be unsure about how to do this

This thread is where i got the info from, this is such a great forum..
95 E320 - Alarm goes off for no reason
