How does the alarm system on a 1977 corvette work?

[Edit]

Answer

When turned on, by the door key in the left front fender or driver door lock, it will sound a horn alarm if the doors or hood are opened. The actual horn alarm is located either inside the driver side front or rear fender. Mine still works!

I removed the inside driver side door panel on my '77 and I found a wire burned apart laying in the bottom of the door. I spliced it back together and my alarm works again.

My alarm switch is in the drivers door key. Use the key to lock the car and it turns the system on.

Additionally, if you turn the system on and it trips right away, you have a short somewhere, most likely a bad door/hood/key switch.

Later C3s had a switch for each t-top, as criminals would either steal the tops or remove one and jump inside to hotwire the car without being noticed.
