Door Trigger
Door triggers on most vehicles are negative. To verify polarity:
1. Find the one wire off the rear of the door switch that shows +12 volts when the switch is
pressed in and 0 volts when released. This is a negative trigger door wire.
2. If you can’t find such a wire, find the one wire that shows 0 volts when the switch is
pressed in and +12 volts when released. This is a positive trigger door wire.
3. Connect the system’s thin GRAY wire to the door wire.
NOTE: If the vehicle has positive-switching door trigger, you must set the
system for positive triggering after power-up (installer programming grid
column 2, row 3).
Optional Interior Light Illumination
This requires an optional relay.
1. Make the optional relay connections shown in the illustration on page 2.
a. For vehicles with negative triggering door switches, connect terminal 87 to ground.
b. If positive door trigger, connect terminal 87 to the system’s 5-amp-fused RED wire.
Optional Door Lock/Unlock
This may require optional relays.
WARNING: If the power door
locks do not operate properly
when the system is armed and
disarmed, DO NOT USE THE
VEHICLE’S DOOR LOCK SWITCH!
Permanent damage to the
control unit or to the car ’s
electrical system and lock servos
will result. For assistance, call
the Clifford Technical Support
Hotline at 800-444-4667.
Single-Stage
(all doors unlock simultaneously)
1. Remove the door lock switch on the
driver’s side of the vehicle to reveal
the switch wires.
a. If there are four or more wires,
make the connections shown in
Diagram 4.
b. If there are three wires, go to step
2.
c. If the vehicle does not have a door
lock switch, find the wire in the
driver’s kick panel that shows
ground when unlocked and
“open” when locked. Make the
connections shown in Diagram 3.
2. Find the wire that shows +12V while
activating the switch. Make the
connections shown in Diagram 1.
Otherwise, go to step 3.
3. Repeat step 2 with the negative
voltmeter lead connected to +12V.
Then find the wire that shows +12V
while activating the switch. Make the
connections shown in Diagram 2.
