ok, i installed a compustar 2W900FM-AS in 04 infiniti fx35 and everything is hooked up already. everything works fine, but after arming it for about 30 minutes it goes off and continues to do so. the alarm is sending that the door triggers it. i used all four door trigger wires and isolated all of them. i even test and set each door off manually and they all work fine. i don't think there is something wrong with the alarm, because i didn't have time to finish the installation couple days ago and i left the door trigger unwired and nothing like that happened. i double check the door trigger wire and it seem fine. did i do something wrong?

please help, thank you...

Try relay isolating the door triggers as well as diode isolating them.

i just finish relay isolating the triggers. now i'm just waiting to see if it will go off or not. if it does go off this time, does it mean i have a bad unit?

See what the relay & diode isolation does for you first before we get into other possibilities.

How can I isolate door trigers by relays and diodes? Does anyone have some diagrams?

Thanks a lot Velocity.

For installation in Ford Explorer 98 Diagram B will be good enough, right?

Directwire(tm) states:

(...) To avoid dome light delay and dome light time-out use the separate door triggers...All five wires are negative trigger and must be diode isolated together. (...)
