"Allen, if you are getting a s

"Allen, if you are getting a steady alarm (beeeeeeep) as soon as you fire it up, it sounds like you have a toasted temp sensor.

That may have nothing to do with the wiring at all - could be all hooked up properly, just the sensor itself has given up on you (they are a simple design - work on resitance and when they toast you get a "connection" all the time = alarm).

Have a look in your manual, track down the wire coming from the sensor to the alarm module - it should have either a bullet connector which can be uncoupled or it will be screwed to a small termination strip (about 3 posts I think) - unhook the sensor wire and see if your alarm goes away.

If it does, your sensor is toast - if it doesn't, it could be the alarm module itself that is shot (less likely). But while you are tracking down the wire from the sensor, do check it for a bare spot - if that wire grounds out anywhere along the way you will get a false alarm..."
