That's not rust, it's Canadian patina...
Ok, so I've had my '93 80 for a few weeks now. Done lots of little fixes to it, but didn't dig into anything electrical from what I can remember (other than removing wires not connected at either end).
Tonight I finished up, and was going to drive my 80 to work tomorrow, and hopefully pass my safety inspection on Friday morning....
While cleaning up, I closed the tailgate - which has been open for about a week while I used it as a parts shelf/tool bench. Somehow this triggered the power locks, and the lights flashed.
Then I opened the drivers door and an alarm chirped at me, and the lights flashed again. Put the key in the ignition, chirped again and lights flashed. There is a red LED on the dash that is blinking, that has not blinked before while I have had the truck. I turned the key to start the truck, and I get nothing. (Yes it's in park)
Now, I have driven this truck over 2000 miles (in 3 days) and it never did this. I contacted the P.O. and he said that he didn't even know it had an alarm in it. I have no key fobs for an alarm. The ignition is locked out.
I can see where the siren is under the hood, but I have no idea where any brain might be, nor do I know what would happen if I just un-plug a brain.... I really need to get this running tomorrow!!
Any ideas or bypasses would be appreciated!!
