...or someone else who knows.

I've removed the Remote Immobiliser (which is for sale here http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14508) and just put in an alarm (all by myself Image).

There is one wire that comes from the alarm to the lights to make them blink when alarm is activated/deactivated. When I run this wire to one of the blinkers, that side blinks :roll: . If I connect both blinker wires to it they both blink, but, when I put the blinker on to go left or right both blinkers go on just like hazard lights (that'll confuse everyone behind me :wink: ).

The question I have is what do I need to do so that both sides blink when alarm is activated/deactivated without it affecting the use of the blinkers?

you've created a link for the blinkers :shock: and what you actually need to do is create a link like the hazard lights or even better use the wire for that switch (if fitted) :D

Well, I see three options,
1. Rig it into the drivers side lights, since this will be the side you are most likely standing on.
2. Rig it into the horn,
3. Get two Diodes and wire everything together.

1. no I want both to blink
2. the siren already chirps when turned on/off and there's a 'silent' button so horn defeats the purpose
3. please explain, or draw a pic or something.

A diod is a in line electronic switch and only allows current to pass one way, you need to solder it into the lines you are connecting to the 2 blinker wires, go down to Jaycar or Dick smiths and get 2 diodes any voltage above 12 volts usually about 110 volts ( dont worry its just how much voltage they can pass :D ) and make sure the have the right amperage anything above 5 amps should be fine, join the wire from your alarm to the joined ends of the diodes input side (if you have a multi metre check which way the current flows, one way they will will flow checking on Ohms resistance if the wrong way they will show nothing) connect the other ends seperatly to each side blinker, when you hit the alarm the voltage will reach both circuits but when you turn on your blinkers the diodes will stop the circuits linking, hope that helps you

Diodes usually have a line at one end. the current will flow from the black end to the line end if that makes sense. or you can think of the line as a wall and current cant get passed the wall unless it is already in the diode. :shock: :?

If you can't figure it out just wire it up to the parklights. Same effect just different colour lights.

Thats true when my gf arms her dlux the blinkers flash and it lights the whole assembly anyway but the brake lights dont actually come on just bright globes :?

The immobiliser normally has a number of separate outputs , see if you can find another one , so that you have one to each blinker , otherwise you will have to use a couple of diodes

Yes the immobiliser that I REMOVED had two wires but the alarm only has one.

Will try the diodes, thanks guys

Well the diodes work which is good.

The problem I have now is that when I start the car the blinker lights stay on. Externally they are fine but internally I have 2 green lights staring at me they whole time. When I turn the blinker on they blink but opposite to the external blinker.

Any ideas?

People, PLEASE stop helping Marvin. He is obviously trying to rig a communication device so he can tell the mother ship to ATTACK EARTH! :shock:

Well the interior blinker lights are on even though I've disconnected the wires coming from the alarm.

This didn't happen when I had the wire module plugged into the back of a standard clubman 3 gauge. Now the module isn't plugged into anything... hmmm.
