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 imports have the pin or
sliding switches in the rear door jamb area. In addition, some
vehicles utilize switches in the doors, either
connected to the exterior door handles or to the
latching mechanism. A car that features the
dome lights illuminating when the exterior door
handle is lifted is an example of this type of
switching system.
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.

Positive Door Trigger Wire
Violet Wire
The Violet wire's function is an open door input to the control module for vehicles having positive 12 volt door pin switches. An open or closed door will
affect the following operations:
A)
When the security system is armed, opening a door will trigger the
security syste
m; causing the siren or horn to sound, the exterior lights to flash, and
the doors to relock.
B)
If the Last Door Arming feature is utilized, after turning "off" the ignition switch and closing the door, the Last Door Arming sequence will begin. Upon
closing the last door, this is indicated by a siren chirp or horn honk, one parking light flash and a fast flashing LED Status Light. Thirty seconds after
the last door closes, the siren will chirp again (or the horn will honk again) and the parking lights will flash once again, indicating that the system is armed.
C)
Opening a door while the exterior lights are on after disarming the
security syste
m will cause the exterior lights to turn off 10 seconds after the opening
of the door. If the Last Door Arming feature is utilized, closing the door will initiate Last Door Arming.
