OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS
TESTING: Door Locks
There are three basic types:
“Type A” Door Lock Test (Most GMs and some Chryslers)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usually located in the driver’s kick
panel. Probe the lock and the unlock wires, the test probe will show a (-) negative and the GREEN
light will glow bright on both the lock and the unlock wires. Press and hold the lock button on the
switch and test the lock wire. The correct wire will test (+) positive and the RED light will glow
bright. Release the lock button and this wire should show a (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow
bright. Now press and hold the unlock button on the switch and test the unlock wire. The correct wire
will test (+) positive and the RED light will glow bright. Release the unlock button and this wire
should show a (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright. Your vehicle has a “Type A” door locking
system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: “Type A” and
“Type C” locks will test the same. Make sure you run both tests before making your connections.
“Type B” Door Lock Test (Most Imports, some newer Fords)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usually located in the driver’s kick
panel. Probe the lock and the unlock wires, the test probe will glow both GREEN and RED (dimly) on
both the lock and the unlock wires. Press and hold the lock button on the switch and test the lock
wire. The correct wire will test (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright. Release the lock
1.Drill a 5/16" hole in the mounting surface, taking care not to damage anything behind the surface.
2.Remove the switch's top nut and lock washer.
3.Push the switch into the hole from the back of the mounting surface. Then secure it with the lock
washer and nut.
4.Connect the ground wire to a metal vehicle body part using an existing screw.
5.Override Switch - Plug override switch into the white plug next to the main connector. TEST: Violate
any zone on the alarm causing the siren to sound. Open the vehicle door, place ignition key to "ON"
position, then press the override switch. The siren should silence and you will now be able to start
the engine. NOTE: A door must remain open during this procedure.
CONNECTING ADDITIONAL SENSORS (Optional)
Follow the instructions that come with the sensor to mount and power it. The system requires a negative
(-) output on the accessory for activation of the alarm.
If the sensor has a single alarm output, connect it to either the main wiring harness's yellow wire to
have the sensor trigger the alarm or to the harness's green wire to have the sensor trigger only warning
chirps. If the sensor has both warning and alert triggers, connect the warning trigger to the harness's
GREEN wire and the alert trigger to the harness's YELLOW wire CAUTION: When adding more than one shock
sensor or perimeter sensor on the same input trip, you must add a 1 amp diode to the output of each
sensor.
NEGATIVE OUTPUTS
Negative output #2, Button #2 - the WHITE WITH YELLOW STRIPE wire is
used to operate the car starter (optional), etc. The negative output
will pulse for one half second by pressing transmitter Button #2.
Negative output #3, Button #3 - the WHITE WITH RED STRIPE wire is
used to operate a power trunk release, window roll-up module, etc.
This negative output will pulse for one half second, or for as long
as transmitter Button #3 is pressed. NOTE: Part #775 must be used
since this negative output is only rated for 200mA (1/5 amp). Since
most power trunk releases are positive controlled and draw 5 to 6
amps, this relay (Part #775) handles the load and also can convert
the release signal from negative to positive polarity.
DOME LIGHT SUPERVISION (Optional)
The dome light supervision wire on the vehicle is the same wire as
your door pin wire. It can be located at the door pin switch or under
dash courtesy lights.
• If this wire tests (+) positive when the door is open (as with
most Fords) and when the door is closed, this wire tests as a
(-) negative, this is (+) positive dome light.
• If this wire tests (-) negative, when the door is open and when
the door is closed, this wire tests as a (+) positive, this is
a (-) negative dome light.
If your dome light is a (-) negative (as most others are), connect the
VIOLET wire to the domelight/doorpin wire from the 16-pin harness.
If your dome light is (+) positive (most Fords) you must add Part #775
to use this option. See diagram. NOTE: When testing the door pin wire,
make sure the dome light is on. Some vehicles, if the door is left
open for a period of time, the dome light will go out, resulting in
a false reading. This is the same wire that is used for the door pin
switch and will test the same.
Optional part #775 required.
