help with electics

hi all , need help with the electrics in the car , got a concept 650 alarm fitted bout 2 month ago , got to work fine on friday went to alarm the car and nothing happened just locked it with the key , went to go home after work and nothing , no dash lights or alarm , got it towed home and checked all the fuses and there fine , phoned the place that fitted it and they say its the car fuses that the alarm is wired into so checked again still nothing , so took dash off to check the alarm fuses all fine , put a multi meter on where the alarm fuses are wired into and nothing but not sure where the wire goes , its on the board next to the fuse box ? ? ? ?

I take it, it uses black wires at the alarms fuses, if so tell the mob who fitted it, to get it fix ( I take you did pay them and it wasn't a pal of a pal who did it), Nothing worse than black wires (they do it to confuse thiefs), It took me 4hr of solid work to remove my old imobliser and alarm and to get the car working, so that will cost you a forture for a auto spark to do.

no it was a proper install , most of the wires are black , found 3 fuses of the alarm going into one wire , tried the multi meter on it and there was nothing , phoned the company who fitted it and he recons its a fuse in the car and not the alarm , but the wire the alarm fuses are into isnt on the main fuse box theres a panel to the left of it with a heap oh plugs the alarm fuses is into one of them and i cant see where the wire goes from there as its all taped up with othere wires ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, fun
