alarms

[DOHCgs]

i bought my eclipse about 2 weeks ago and noticed it had an alarm on it the other day. the previous owner dont have the keychain remotes and i looked at the fuse box and noticed there is no fuse in the antitheft spots. is there anyway i can get this alarm to work without buying a whole new kit? thanx

Look for the computer, the sensor or even the siren, find out what brand it is, then goto the local dealer, tell them your deal, and they can order you new remotes probably like 60 bucks though, and tell you the fuse rating needed, they might even give you a free fuse and that will save you $.25 (ohh the things the stereo shops will do for a good customer relationship). Each alarm has different requirements. It might even be fused somewhere else if it is aftermarket. If it is a factory alarm you'll pay out the arse to get it working, like 120 bucks is proabably conservitive.
