Opening a door during Automatic Rearming will also suspend that feature. If the
system has been programmed to lock and unlock the doors with the ignition switch
being turned "on" and "off", an open door will cancel the automatic locking or
unlocking.
CONNECTION: Connect the Green wire to a wire in the vehicle which is common
to all the door pin switches. The correct wire in this type of dome light/door jamb
pin switch system typically has no voltage present and will also show - Ground when
the doors are opened, and also up to +12 Volts when the doors are closed. The
correct wire will show this change when any of the doors are opened. If the vehicle
has delay dome lights, remember to take this into account when testing the wire.
If the car has a delay dome light the system can be armed from the transmitter, and
will start protecting the Green wire circuit when the dome light turns off. In Last Door
Arming mode, the system arms 30 seconds after the delay dome light turns off. The
diagram illustrates a basic negative courtesy light system.
If the pin switch is mounted in the metal structure of the vehicle, and the dome light
goes out when the switch is removed, suspect a grounding-type dome light system.
If the switch is mounted in plastic, a constant ground wire will also be present. While
the traditional pin switch is mounted in the front door jamb area, also be aware that
many vehicles utilize other types of switch devices to operate the interior lights.
Some imports have a sliding type of switch and many have the pin or sliding
switches in the rear door jamb area.

Also be aware of vehicles which diode-isolate each door. Typically, this is usually
encountered with dash displays that indicate individual doors being ajar. The
proper wire to connect to in this type of system is the common wire which is routed
to the dome light itself.
Violet Wire - (+12 Volts Door Trigger Input):
The Violet wire's functions are
identical to the Green Door Trigger wire, with the sole exception that it is an open
door input to the control module for vehicles having
+12 Volts door pin switches.

wires complete effects

CONNECTION: Connect the Violet wire to a wire in the vehicle which is common
to all the door pin switches. The correct wire for this type of dome light/door jamb
pin switch system will have +12 Volts present when the doors are opened, and -
Ground when the doors are closed. The correct wire will show this change when
any of the doors are opened.
Blue Wire - (- Ground Instant Trigger Input): The Blue wire is a - Ground instant
trigger used to detect entry into the hood or trunk area of a vehicle. If the security
system is armed, grounding the Blue will activate it.
CONNECTION: The included pin switches may be installed to provide this trigger
circuit Or, if there are existing switches (example: a light in the luggage compart-
ment or a "Trunk Ajar" light in the dash), the Blue wire may be connected directly,
provided this is a- Ground switching circuit. An indication of such a circuit is the wire
having no voltage present when the hood or trunk is open, and up to +12 Volts when
the hood or trunk is closed. This circuit cannot be used with mercury switch types
of hood or trunk lights. If the vehicle is equipped with a usable trunk or hood circuit,
locate the proper wire and splice the Blue wire directly to the vehicle's wire.
When wiring more than one of the vehicle's circuits and/or additional circuits to
this wire, diode-isolation may be required to maintain each circuit's proper opera-
tion. An example would be wiring a hood pin switch and trunk light switch together.
Without isolating, the trunk light will illuminate whenever the hood is raised. Also,
diode-isolation is necessary when combining electronic sensors together, or, in the

Gray Wire - (- Ground Output For Optional Trunk Release): The function of
the Gray wire is to provide an optional output, the primary use being trunk re-
lease. Press and hold the small transmitter button for three seconds to activate
this output. When activated the Gray wire will provide a 250mA Negative Ground
pulse for 1 second; or, stay grounded for as long as the small transmitter button is
depressed, for up to 15 seconds. Using this output can also disarm the system.
