Hello world...

Bought a new alarm the other day just tried to fit it, all seemed to work correctly until I set it off,
as soon as I set it off the +wire started smoking :/

In my opinion that means there is too much power going to it... 12.9 volts is what my battery is reading (isnt that average?)
The alarm Iv got is a beret 5000

Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me asap!
as I cant ride my bike without an alarm where I live! And the seller isnt open today :'(

P.s
YES I AM A N00B! :headscratch:

The + wire going IN to the alarm,

or the + wire going out (to horn/lights etc.?)


Where do yo live that you are not allowed to ride without an alarm?

Post up in the newbies section, these bikes-especially their electricals- vary quite a bit from region/country to others.

What method did you use to connect the wires?
