Car Alarms: chapman security system, mazda rx7, wiring harness


Question
I bought a 1986 mazda rx7 a few months ago and the previous owner had installed a chapman security system in it, I must have of tripped something because i have no power to my fuel pump, coils... pretty much no power to the engine. But i can get the car to turn over just fine. I have all interior lights and symbols on the dash. Is there any way that i can reset the system? thank you for your time.

Answer
An alarm system does not normally cut anything other than the starter circuit.  It is not a normal practice to kill the ignition circuit with an alarm.  I do not think the alarm would have caused this.  To make sure, take a look at the wiring harness from the ignition switch and follow it down to the alarm.  Somewhere in line there will be fuses, pull these fuses and the alarm should no longer operate, allowing you to troubleshoot the problems elsewhere.  I would have to think that you popped a master fuse somewhere.
