  1. Tommy, it would be hard to say what could be causing your battery draining problem because there are some many factors to consider. Our advice is to take your 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe to a qualified alarm installer and ask them to troubleshoot your alarm because it does take some wiring experience and alarm installation knowledge. Hope this helps. Good luck on your 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe car alarm troubleshooting.

  2. Thanks for the diagram. Have a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe 2-door that has after market alarm installed. The alarm does not work and something is draining the battery. The installer is out of business. Any suggestions on how to locate the cause for the drain?
