Thanks for the diagram Joel, It looks like I may be able to undo the lt blue wire on the door jamb switch to keep it from grounding and the alarm from going off. The relay only has 3 wires but the anti theft module has 10 for everything including radio and accys. It is fused so I am going to give it a shot . I will inform everyone of the results. thanks for Everything !!!

I am the original owner of my '80. I think the alarm only worked for about a year. And the relay is under the console on mine, too.
