got a clifford concept 300 other day, wired everything up and all works fine apart from the imobiliser, theres 4 wires on the clifford loom that are all black, but they still had the wires from the loom in the nova that it was taken from, so i wired it into my loom, im guessing that you cut the wire in the nova loom and connect one end to one wire on the alarm and the other end to the other wire on the alarm so it breaks the direct connection so the box can then turn it on and off right? I tried different combinations using crock clips and managed to get it so when the imob is disarmed i turn the key to start the engine and the clifford box just clicks and doesnt start the car, box just makes a single click, like its making a connection, but the car isnt starting. thats the only thing i can get it to do, i made sure the wires were correct by checking the wires on the ignition barrel. i cant take my car to a dealer to get them to sort it coz its not drivable. and there isnt a wiring diagram on cliffords site for the 300. i wired it into the loom just behind the glovebox

i COULD just leave the immobiliser for now but it would be handy to get it working!

anybody know what im doing wrong?

and also! anybody know which wires i connect to which to get the nova central locking solanoids to work with the concept 300, will i need the central locking control box from the nova or can i wire um directly into the clifford box????????????

cheers :)

This is correct. when i disconnected it for will i left a bit of the nova loom on to make it easier when wiring it up. if it doesnt work one way possibly swap the wires over so they are connected to the opposite ends of where uve cut, if u get me.
