1985 Corvette Security System Question
I fixed my power door lock switch today and now I'm setting off the alarm when I go to open the door. Here's what I'm doing, what part of this is wrong?
Is there some step I'm missing? Thanks for any info that might help.
- Turn car off
- Open door
- Push door lock button
- Go away, do whatever, and return
- Use key to unlock driver's door (turn clockwise)
- Open door, horn goes off
- Put key back in lock and turn counter clockwise, alarm stops
Is there some step I'm missing? Thanks for any info that might help.

Maybe that's the case. It's armed now so I'll check it when I go out for lunch and report back.
On an unrelated note, I think your car is how mine looked when it left the factory. Previous owner repainted it though and I just put in red interior this winter. Looks different now!

I think like xrav22 said that the switch is on backwards inside the door. Remove the alarm switch and flip it over 180 on the key actuator and you should be good.
