Alright I got my Scopio alarm today and get it all set up and plug the connector into the MCM and it says it's suppose to chirp twice when you do this. I get nothing. I can't get this thing to chirp or arm or do anything for that matter. Any ideas or tricks? ground is good, conections are good, since i'm using the factory wiring harness. I think I am calling them tom and see what they say.

Anyone have any ideas why it won't chirp when I plug the main harness into it?

Easiest way to check it is to take a multimeter and test for power and ground. Sounds like you're missing one of them. May be a bad crimp in the harness.

yea that's what it sounds like to me too. I got off the phone with their tech support and that's what they say it might be, either power or a defective MCM. That's what I figured last night, but I didn't see any posible way it wasn't getting power, all connections were good and tight.

I didn't check the crimp on the negative wire, but it looked fairly secure--I think I will check that. Where would be the best places to check to make sure I'm getting power all the way through. I was thinking checking at the fuse would be good idea. I wonder if the factory harness plug in might be bad--I assume this is where the power comes from. I'm thinking the positive side of the power isn't getting there-- If it is the power I'm not sure how i'm going to fix it other than getting a new harness from them to plug in.

Jason,

Are you just setting up the Scorpio, e.g. configuring the remote?

 

[Almighty Jason]

I'm not really up to setting up the remote. It is suppose to chirp and flash the lights when you first hook it up. I can't get anything from it.
