UNGO Alarm removal
Still have a "No Start" and have exhausted the WSM test plan for the EZF and LH.
Car runs when injectors are "clicked" a few times (grounding out pin on LH providing gas) but no fuel pump or injector firing on crank. Both computers run in a different vehicle.
I went into the historical receipts and found there was a UNGO 5500 installed. I currently have the center console removed, the glove box, and radio removed to find this alarm, but cannot see any wiring, or additional modules. Before I take the instrument panel apart, I am hoping someone else might have had this installed and would know its whereabouts. I cannot see or find it in the engine compartment or in any of the areas where I have removed already.
The factory alarm module has been removed and jumped from pin 1 to pin 4.
As always, thanks in advance...

I don't know what an UNGO is other than it sounds like it stops ignition; there has to be evidence of it getting power / piggy backed somewhere. Can you post a pic or two of the CE panel and the fuse panel? There are no new wires at the batt positive connection?
When you say the factory alarm, you are referring to the connection behind the glove box?

There was an UNGO system installed on my '88 when I bought it. I'm driving home from California....running at warp speed across the desert... and all of a sudden something jumped out from under the dash onto my feet that felt like a huge spider. I had to pull off at the next exit to change underwear. I ended up that it was one of the many UNGO boxes with dangling wires. I removed the first of the many UNGO boxes I found then and there and removed the remaining boxes and connections when I got home

John, would you have any idea where those "boxes" might have been or looked like? I cannot find any spliced or oddly wired in appendixes under the dash. yet, the UNGO 5500 was installed and there is no record of its removal.
Something seems to be interupting the power between the EZF and LH and I cannot pinpoint.
Bottom line, i do want to remove the UNGO and all of its tendrils somehow if i can find them...

Coach Tom,
Sorry for the delay. I misplaced this thread for a day or two.
I think there were five UNGO boxes on my car. There was two inside the console, one above the Central fuse panel, and two above the driver's foot area (one of which was stomped to death by me crossing the desert and subsequently removed in a dead and decaying state). IIRC, all the wires were either cut and spliced such that removal and reconnection were relatively easy, or were just tapped into with a connector which was super easy to remove.
There was some kind of on/off switch hidden under the steering wheel area that looked stock (if I hadn't known better)
I never had any issues with the car after removing the UNGO and as a matter of fact, could leave the car undriven for a month and it would start right up. The current owner told me it would still be that way had the battery not gotten old.
Good Luck. If I can help further, just let me know.

John,
Thanks for the reply. I was almost to the end of the internet when i stumbled upon an installation manual for the UNGO 5500. Yes, the individual modules controlled various operations like door locks, starter defeat, and also proximity alarms...
But, i have torn the inside of the car apart and have not found one module yet or the master brain. The odd wire i have pictured with the "18" scribbled on it is above the CE Panel and the wires descend behind it. I started to pull the panel, but frustration got the better of me as it seems the more i touch, the more just seems to break...
Thanks again! and if you happen to know what that fused wire supports, it would help?

I don't think you have any choice but to find out what that fused wire connects to. I would think that it replaces an existing fuse that might have a bad base?

Check under the seats, check inside either the passenger side hump where the hatch release is located. Check in the hatch area-see if it's hacked into the battery back there. Put your hand up behind the glove box on the firewall and see if you feel it there.

Oh one other place--in the rear hatch-where the jack is stored and the hatch release motor-lots of places to stash a unit. I found a LoJack in my 89-the first model they ever released.

I had a 2nd Alarm system that also had a remote start option that caused all kinds of weird problems and had it removed. The unit was installed under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. The tech who removed it really knew his stuff and I paid extra to watch and ask questions.
There are lots of wires but most connections were either in-line or basic vampire tamps. Depending on who installed it some of the in-lines may be soldered. Apparently, soldering was done as SOP by Circuit City. The tech methodically removed each wire and magically the car started when he was done.
Take your time and be methodical was my takeaway.
