car alarm install problems!

not sure if ill get flamed for this but ima give it a shot lol....well i had installed a new alarm on my rx8 since the previous owner had a viper alarm but all it can do was lock/unlock the car dam thing didnt go off even if i kicked it or jumped on top of the car since thats what i tried to make it go off lol....so now i installed this alarm called zenesis 502AS http://zenesisalarms.com/zn502.htm here is a link of the alrm system, well i follow the instructions on this wire diagram http://www.modifiedlife.com/2004-maz...iring-diagram/ and yes i also searched info on installing my own alarm. well the reason why i posted this is because i only connected the power input, ignition/accessory/starter output for one harness and for my second harness was parking brake input, foot brake input, parking light, trunk trigger input, and door trigger input, for my third harness i connected i wired the siren output, trunk release output, door lock output,door unlock output, parking light output, and ground....i didnt connect any of thre wires for the remote start i also didn't connect clutch by pass output, alternator input, hood pin input, and glow plug on the second harness....i only had this wires connected when i reconnected my battery and inserted my keys in the ignition harness turned it to the on position and when i press down the clutch pedal my engine begins to crank over and then turns on...it seems that every time i step on the clutch pedal my starter engages for some reason im at a lost not sure what i should look at since i first had my starter wire connected on the white/blue wire on the ignition harness i press down the clutch pedal engine turns on , reconnected it on the white/blue wire that is coming from the right side of the clutch pedal where the safety neutral switch is at and the same thing happens...has anyone who installed there own alarm system come to this problem i could use some help in trouble shooting this

You probably would have been better off staying with the Viper alarm. With proper install, they are the most reliable thing out there.

With your install, did you test your wires individually or did you assume the Viper that was not functioning properly was wired correctly?

Since you said you did not hook up the remote start wires are you sure none of your wires were making contact with each other?
