Instead the test light go (on) when the ignition is turned on. Following the power distribution diagram page 970-8 circuit (C) from ignition continuing to page 970-10 Circuit (C) when the ignition is turned on it seems to to power up pin 15 on the module, and most of the instrument cluster.
Could this be a type-o on the part of the manual, or am in reading the circuit wrong.
Help!!!!! John..

Pin 15 of the alarm module is connected to main power bus 15 of the car. Bus 15 is switched power directly from the ignition switch and is hot in the "RUN" and "START" key positions. You should most definitely have voltage at pin 15 when the ignition is turned on (light on). If Bentley says otherwise it's typo. The Bentley manual is well known for that. Pin 31 of the alarm is ground.
