This is a dumb question since I used to install car audio equiptment, but I can't remember that when you are installing a remote start or car alarm, do you use the power lock/unlock wire, or the lock/unlock motor wiring to make the doors lock/unlock? The diagram that I have says the lock/unlock wires are a negative polarity, but if you use the lock/unlock motor, it is a 5 wire system.
Thanks

Do not use the lock motors! Your making to much work on yourself. Your car has negitive door lock triggers. There from your avatar it looks like a 05 so here you go

You picked a fun car to make a come back on. Its going to take some time to do a effective alarm install and remote start on it. DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT ON THIS CAR. Or it will cost you. Grab yourself a dvm and a beer and have fun.

Does this accord have factory keyless entry? If so, I'd look into a door lock alarm module specifically for the Honda Accord. It makes wiring easier so you wont have to run wire into the drivers door to disable the on-key functions. It also makes tranferring the OEM 3 button key functions onto the new alarm remote a breeze..

It does have factory keyless, but I have never had to use a door lock alarm module. I have always just tapped into the door lock wires and the trunk pop wire and was done with it. What is this disabling of on-key functions that you are talking about?

Ok, the factory keyless is integrated into the actual car key for your Accord. If you just tap the Lock wires to the Remote Start alarm, the key and the remote start alarm remote will unlock/lock the car doors. If you accidentally lock the car with the buttons on the key and try to unlock with the remote start alarm remote, the factory alarm will be triggered.

The door lock module just simplifies the installation but is not absolutely necessary. If you dont opt to use one and you just go wire for wire, when it comes to disarming the factory alarm through your new aftermarket alarm system, you will have to tag these wires...

....which means running wires into the door from under the dash or to where you place the alarm brain.

Thanks for the info. I actually was aware of the factory disarm wire, I just was just confused by the way that you had phrased "disable the on-key functions". I stopped installing in 2003 and thought that this may be something new. Cars are much more advanced than they were in the 90's. Thanks a lot for the responses.

Well, good luck with this Accord and if you choose to tag the factory disarm wire, I hope all goes well running the wires into the door.

schock3

its easy to run the wires into the door. its also the right was to do it. if u are going to go that route use a long zip tie to snake the wires through it will make ur life alot easier. peel back the rubber in the door jam

Ok, have you personally tried to run wires into that specific car yourself? There is not much of a spot to drill into the factory plugs to allow 2 wires to run with the factory wiring, into the door.

There is no real "right" way to run wires into a door. There are a few "standard" methods that installers use when running wires into a door. Some of us run them along with the factory door harness or drill a hole in a suitable spot on the door using a sealing grommet to keep water out.

But in all honesty, why would you want to spend the time running wires into a door when you can purchase a module that requires 1 wire to be connected to from under the dash area? Its just a suggestion to make the install time shorter.
