Who makes a good shock sensor for the facory CL alarm? how much? thanks,

 

any shock sensor would do. Mine is a generic one (no brand on the housing) and it works great.

 

Howdy SilverKnight:

what would something like that cost and how exactly does it work??

 

cost about 20-25 bucks and an hour of labor (at most)... you can look up the needed parts in NovaWhiteTypeS template since mine is down.

Basically, if hood, doors or trunk is open, a ground signal will be send the stock alarm's brain. If your system is armed, the alarm goes off . When triggered, the shock sensor creates a ground signal. I tapped this wire to stock hood's signal wire. When your alarm is armed and shock sensor is triggered, the alarm "thinks" the hood is opened, so it goes off.

 

Cool, thanks..

I think I will need to get that done. Sounds like a good investment...
