The Rats Nest
So I'm trying to clean up the mess in my engine bay. What appears to be several years of neglect and dirt, a car stereo, a neon light system and an alarm. I was able to get most of the wires out of the engine bay for the stereo and alarm. I have systematically removed the neon from under the car too and that is now in the trash .
When I traced the wores for the alarm back through the firewall I found a rats nest of a mess connected to the alarm module under the dash. I tried to unhook the alarm and then the car wouldn't start so I promptly hooked it back up.
I do not have a remote and there is no power too it. I should get some pics and show you the mess...
The question is leave well enough alone or should I take a few hours and try to piece it back together? It is a mess, you can't see it and the car starts now so I am inclined to forget about it. But I know some of you are like me, and it will always be in the back of my mind.
Maybe a project for the winter while she's in storage?
Thanks all,
Matt

Get the electrical manuals from these guys and do it in the winter. http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp?r=

Re: The Rats Nest
Great idea! I'm sure I will be looking for something to do. I was worried about doing right now and screwing up the ignition wiring and not having a car for the summer. I also downloaded the Viper install guide so between the two of them I should be able to piece it together.
I think there's elec diagrams in the back of my Haynes manual. Maybe I'll take a look at those.
