Worked on my alarm system from the tackle-smith and my shock alarm works but none of my compartment sensors arent working, have all the wires connected and when you open the compartment it wont trigger the alarm when it is armed, Any help would be great!!! I sent the company a email and received no response....

I installed mine and they work awesome.
Since you are able to arm the system and the shock sensor is working, by the alarm going off. I would unplug the the magnet sensor and plug it back in. It may not be fully seated.
Open each compartment one at a time to confirm that none of them are working. could be just one lid.
The circuit has to be closed for the lids to work. I tested mine one at a time as I installed them. Twice my connection was not good on the clips.
Hope this helps some.

i used the butt connectors, as it seemed the clips were cutting the wires when I put them inline. I just cut the wire, and used a butt connector(waterproof). it worked a LOT better this way.

I have an autopage alarm.
On mine, there is a long red/black wire set running to the leads for the compartment reed switches which should be magnetically open when lids are closed.
The red/black wire is hooked up to the alarm unit, on mine red to a blue wire on the unit and black to a ground.
Since your impact sensor is triggering your alarm through its separate connection, I suspect your red/black wire set is not properly connected or broken somewhere.
First, check your installation instructions. Your wires may be colored different than mine and adjust accordingly.
A quick test on my set-up would be to jump across red/black when armed, the alarm should go off, if not, I'd jump my unit's blue wire to a unit ground, the alarm should go off and I'd suspect my red/black are not making good connection to blue or ground, but if not, my unit itself is not triggering for some reason off the blue wire (need tech support).
One possibility is that your first lid's t-tap connectors may have cut the red/black wire so it does not complete the circuit. Another is that the red/black wire connections at the unit's wires (blue and ground) are interrupted.
Hope this helps you.
