It is a 2010 and I wont be wanting the alarm any more, so I will go with the large hammer option. Thank you for your assistance, it has been very helpful. Cheers!
I'd be really surprised if your 2010 ST has the enclosure The alarm is mounted to a bracket on the INSIDE of the frame on the right side, just behind the steering head. I'm trying to recall but I think the connector may be inside the glove box on the 1050 ST - but once you find the alarm, you should be able to find the connector and whether or not enclosure shroud was used.
Mine definitely has the enclosure as it looks exact to the link you sent me. I guess this is because the alarm was not factory fitted but fitted as an aftermarket item a few months after first registration. I will check in the right hand side against the inside of the frame before I break the box. Thanks.
I had a similar conversation with my insurance provider once who also said they wouldn't pay out if they discovered the alarm wasn't fitted. I replied that to discover that, they would have to recover the bike
OK, I broke the box to get to this connector. Plugged in the blanking plug and reconnected the battery. Tried the key and nothing. No power at all reaching the clocks. I have checked all the fuses, one was blown so I changed it but still no power. Some posts I have seen say the alarm needed to be disarmed before plugging in the blanking plug. I was not able to do this as the alarm wouldn't do anything. I have also not changed over the starter solenoid wires yet so need to do this. My battery is only a month old so I am wondering if it is dead from the faulty alarm so will charge it, but as it appears no power is getting through I am thinking its something else. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate any advice.. Thanks.
It doesn't matter is alarm was disarmed or not - it is only providing an interlock and the bypass connector satisfies that. Your bypass connector plug - does it have one or two loops on it? Was there a wired interlock to the Solenoid from the alarm? That is normally only done with an after-market install - one of the loops on the alarm connector already caters for that and that function is normally only done AT the solenoid on the older bikes that don't have that provision There may have been something else cut if it wasn't a std Triumph Alarm and installation. You're going to have to work your way around the ignition circuit to find out where the break is. Meanwhile - do you have a voltmeter and I can step you through it?
