9271, Positive door pin wire
Posted by ashah000, Jun-12-04 05:58 PM
Where is the wire for the positive door pin. I already hooked the negative one up. But I cant find a wireing diagram with the postive door pin wire on it.

Thanks

what are you trying to do? unless you are trying to control these wires for some reason, you only need on as a trigger for a relay or alarm or whatever else you are doing.

i cant remember exactly, but i *think* you can pull off the rear side panel (on either side) to get access to these wires. based on 2 yearold memories, i also *think* one of them is green with a dtripe on it.

I am trying to install my alarm. The connector for the alarm has two different spots one for "Negative door pin input" one for "Positive door pin input"

That should be there for flexibility (some cars have + trigger and some have - trigger therefore they need the capability to do either or the alarm won't work in some cars). So, unless it specifically states you have to hook both up, you should be alright w/ just the - trig wire connected.

YOU NEED TO FIRST DETERMINE WHICH ONE YOUR CAR HAS. THEN USE THAT ONE. OUR CARS ARE NEGATIVE ON THE DOOR PIN; THEREFORE, CONNECT THE ONE LABELED AS NEGATIVE TO THE DOOR PIN OR DOME LIGHT. IGNORE THE POSITIVE ONE.
WHERE DID YOU RUN THE PARKING LIGHTS OUTPUT TO?

ya what they said ^^^. our cars are negative pin sensors. more specifically the wire conected to the door pin shows ground when the door is open and nothing when the door is closed. on some alarms you also hafta set a jumper or program something for the type of sensor you have (negative or positive).
