Ay that sucks dude

I recently had a door ajar problem (door open sensor) it was messed left the interior light and the boot light light on - I would usually wake up to "no dash clock", "open door red light" and popped fuses. Found out the car had and alarm wired into it but the module was pulled out so it didn't work - ripped the hell out of all that wiring and ran the original wires, seems to be running sweet now
