thanks for the help everyone. Particlewave, the idea to check continuity from the fuse to the 12V power is what helped me solve it. I had continuity from one end of the fuse, not the other. So the fuse was blown! Maybve there was still enough contact in the fuse to register continuity, but not enough to run the 12V, because I checked B2 about 5 times before my original post. Glad that's all the problem was..

My car is '97.

"On my 98 the alarm sounds when the radio alarm wire is grounded. Don't know what year his car is....guessed an early car since he is replacing a CDR-210"

What should I do with the radio alarm wire? I am still getting the honk.

You guys are great, btw. Really appreciate the info. I've had my car for 10 years, and this is my first time posting to the board.
