Default 1980 Wiring

Hi All,
not sure if anyone can help with the wiring diagram for just the alarm system on a c3 1980 vette. No one in South Africa will have a clue and it seems that some of the system harnesses have been taken out of the passenger door as well as the contact assembly , or did this model not have it fitted on the passenger door ?
New to the forum can anyone assist ??
Thanks everyone

Maybe you have some other ideas as to why there is only a harness in the drivers door and the contact assembly , yet nothing in the passenger door , but the clip that holds the lock looks totally original. I have had this car for about 3 years now and am trying to put it all back as close to original as possible myself . I am getting closer to getting it off the axle stands, not many guys in South Africa with the knowledge of these amazing cars , so i have to rely on the experience of people like yourself to help. Thanks a stack

Your Welcome,glad I could help.

Look closely at the diagram,the only "arming" switch is in the drivers door,you might be confusing the door jam switch with the arming switch.
The passenger door arming switch didn't begin until 81.
