Alarm to indicator wiring question

[sm1thson]

hi just wired up a new alarm to pretect my new purchase. i need now to connect it to the indicators, the alarm modules are mostly behind the dash and hence so is my wiring.

the simplist way i can see to wire it to the indicators, is running wires directly to the +s on the front indicators (as in run the wire right up to them), i want to avoid this as it will be hard to keep the wiring neet, i could run wires to the back but thats just a waste of wire!.

ideally i want to connect it under the dash or someware not two far away any ideas? (and please let me know if you are speculating or have tried it).

(ive done a lot of work w/ electrics and electronics, but not much w/ cars.)

I did this on mine, from what i remember (and i've just been to the pub so i can't remember a lot lol) you can get to the indicator wires under the dash, near the steering column - wire your alarm to those, just after it comes away from the indicator stalks and it will control all your indicators (front, back, sides). The haynes manual wiring diagram helps a lot as this tells you what colour wire to look for, but i don't have one to hand at the moment.

easiers way is to tap into the side repeator wires inside the car...

harder and neater is going to the hazzard light switch

what about wiring to the conections from the relay thing that clicks away next to the main fuse box? anyone tried this?
