noo noo shouldnt be much since its usually $100 to install a basic alarm... good luck doood!
#9
if i cant find the problem and fix it.. i think ima go to acura and see whats the problem. and if it cost me alot to fix ima just sell the car and buy somthing eles..
#10
you said you have it 9/10ths of the way installed? i would try going back and un hooking what you can, in case its the alarm messing with the car.
Also, as mentioned already check all the fuses with a fuse checker (sometimes a bad fuse looks good) There are three fuse panels in the car. one on the pass. side, one on the drivers side, and one in the engine compartment.
These steps might save you some money vs. going to acura.

that sounds a little silly. first off, unhook your battery to prevent any more shorts.

yeah check ALL the fuses first, they are there to prevent shorts from overheating stuff and prevent fires,
also about the drivers window, it has to be reinitlized (sp?), after the battery is disconnected any time (or the memory loses power, like from a blown fuse)

there is a couple of them under the hood, all against the firewall, but there are also the driver side one and a passenger side one inside, they are behind those little cover you see on the dash (on the end of the dash) when you open up the doors
#18
There are relays and fuses in the engine bay
Sorry I wasnt more of a help
#19
crap.. do y'all thing this is a real problem? or just some small one with fuses?! because if i cant turn on my light with the light switch while car is off, then i wonder how is the light on while the car is on?
#20
as said earlier, it sounds like "BCM" is not working; which could be you blew the fuse for it (so it has no power to run) or you could have fried the module itself
#21
i think i fryed the module.. how much is it for a new one? or.. is it even replaceable?
but then again i just taped two wires for like .5 sec and made a spark.. could that really fry it?
#22
I could also be a simple relay which are hard to check but u can take them out and shake them if you hear somthing moving inside then its either good or bad I forget I would check those
#24
In my exprience it sounds like a relay that connects power to the passenger side fuse box but your going to have to pull every relay under the hood to figure out which one because I have no idea what supplies power over there
Where did you Touch the wires togther, eg. under the hood

but as said check all the fuses first, to make sure it is not just a blown fuse (i accendently shorted the o2 heater circuit on my old car's ecu, and that just blew a fuse and did not fry the ecu)
new one??? might be able to just get a used one (and cheaper, and the damage is not from it being a bad design, it's is from installer error )
replaceable??? yes, what is't on a car??? (just saying)
#27
do you have like aim or somthing? you seem useful and know all about my problem.. i could really use your help.
back up memory fuse.. doesnt that just reset my time every time i turn off the car?
because i cant even see the time on the dash, like No numbers at all.
#28
i have an aftermarket radio so i dont remember..

also the lights dont turn on without the keys being in and turned to acc
and i cant lock while the car is off.
i believe its the fuse, sorry if i keep repeating myself. im new to this kinda BCM thing...
where can i find this BCM and the fuse that goes with it?

#32
I'm no expert but it sounds like you fried something, I would take it to someone who knows about the wiring inside a car, witch I imagine is pretty tricky. Maybe even a electricion could lend advise.
#33
The problem with taking it to someone is there going to check the fuses and the relays and every little thing and charge you for it
I would do that myself aand if you still have the problem then go see someone about it and tell them that u checked all that stuff

I once tried to hardwire my XM radio and also sparked it a fried my XM radio, right after that my coil pack went bad.. I dunno if it was coincidence or if the spark caused the coil pack to go bad!

My 1st time I tried to hard wire a K40 radar detector to my 300M's rear view mirror dimmer wires I blew the security system out. Couldn't start my car even with the key. Had to get it towed to a dealer to get it fixed. They covered it though. Car only had 2K miles on in.
And that was on my lunch hour in my job's parking lot. I was bored

and to OP, don't worry everyone frys a computer/module at some point (luckily i have not done a car's computer yet, but i have done a amp meter [multimeter], by trying to put more amperage through it then what it was rated for) (whoopsies i let the smoke out),
so just take it as a lesson, to not connect wires directly together to just test them out, and to possibly disconnect the battery next time
