I need to get the Clifford manual for the alarm system in my car. I had to replace the battery and now I don't know how to reprogram the alarm. Clifford will send me the instructions when I tell them the model number. They told me that every alarm has different settings so I need to know the exact one in my car. The alarm was installed by the previous owner. I searched for the alarm and could not find it. The remote control for the alarm system is carbon fiber and has 4 buttons on the front and 1 on the side. The alarm system also has a remote starter. I had to reprogram the alarm system once before and the person who did it for me pushed a few buttons on the remote and everything worked in a few minutes. He tried again, but this time was unsuccessful. Now, I pulled the fuse out otherwise the siren will go off.

Here are some pics of what I've done so far:


This is what I believe is called the Valet Switch


Same pic just zoomed out.


I pulled the Light switch out.


Here it is without the switch.


Now I had to remove the nut.


A few twists and it was ready to come out.


Here it is removed.


Next the Emeregency brake has 2 philips screws that need to be removed.


Here they are.


Now once you pull the handle, you can see a 3rd screw.

The 3rd screw is in the middle. Sorry the pic turned out dark and blurry.


In this picture you can see it better and notice the screwdriver in the hole that's in the middle of the emergency brake handle.


Here is a closeup.


Next I removed the cover on top of the steering column.


Here is a picture with it removed.


Here is what the piece looks like from behind.


Now the head light switch trim panel can be removed.


This job requires an 8mm socket.


On the right side of the steering wheel, over the ignition, the trimpiece comes out the same way. 2 more 8mm screws.


First one on it's way out.

To remove the lower trim piece the hood latch has to be disconnected. That screw has to be removed.


Now the connector must be pushed out.


Here is a shot under the dash close to the steering column.


Here is a picture of some of the crazy wiring I found there.


Another shot.


The connector for the emergency brake must be removed the same way as the hood latch.


Picture of the hood latch handle with the connector removed.


This picture is to the left of the steering wheel under the dash.


Here is a closeup.


This is to the far right where teh center console is.

There is another plastic trim piece taht connects to the cover that is under teh steering column. To remove this, a small circular plug had to be removed that was deep under the steering column.


There is the inner trim piece removed.


This is a picture taken from underneath in search for the alarm box.


Still hoping to snap a picture of this black box that I have never seen before.


This is a part that belongs to the alarm system. I'm getting closer.


And yet another switch found on the inner trim piece.


Here is te backside with its connector.


This picture is on the left side deep under the dash.


This picture is of teh wires starting from the ignition... the right side


Same picture just a little lower and closer.

Same picture as above. This time I zoomed in.


This is the same zoomed in all the way. To the right is the center console.


Directly below the steering wheel.


Closer look of the same picture.


Same as above only this time starting from the right side going to the left side of the car.


Picture is the same as above only this time I zoomed out.


If you look at the picture above this one, the piece in the bottom left side is what this picture is.


Left side on the steering wheel under the dash.


Left side kick panel area. I had to remove the kick panel plastic trim piece to get to it. I also had to remove teh floor mat and the carpet mat under that.


Left side kick panel area.
