hi again guys still working on same car..... i belive the kill switch on my ride is active and alarm malfunctioning.so its time to pull it i think should be diff wires and easy to trace but worried it may of had ecu kill switch due to no spark crank or fuel sitch.....so my question is is that possible and if so would removeing alarm require new ecu?also has anyone removed an alarm from e30 m42 ?also think there is any part of this alarm under hood?if it helps the alarm box is dark red.... and does have a switch for starter kill im hopeing i can just remove it and put wires back together with proper wire tie clips...

The alarm should only be wired to the ignition and fuel pump if you just cut the wires away from the main loom it should be fine
