I need help figuring out wires for individual door trigger on 98 Explorer Sport. Right now I have my alarm hooked up to dome light but I want to diode isolate all triggers to avoid problems with dome light. The problem is I can't find those wires. My only info shows:

yellow/black drivers door driver kick panel

light GREEN/ YELLOW drivers rear door driver kick panel (N/A I have 2 door model)

WHITE/ purple rear hatch driver kick panel

gray/red passenger front door passenger kick panel

pink/light blue passenger rear door passenger kick panel (N/A I have 2 door model)

Those wires don’t seem to work. For example WHITE/ purple wire in driver kick panel shows 0.00 V hatch door closed and opened. I even cut it to see if the dome light will come on and it did. I checked the switch for a hatch door and there are two wires coming out from it. One is ground and the other is WHITE/ purple. Now I'm stuck. Any ideas what to do?

This is the same info I have. The problem is that only gray/red wire show 0V at rest and 12V when door are opened. Yellow/black show 12V anytime and WHITE/ purple show 0V anytime. I even cut those last two wires and car was still able to sense door opened or closed. I couldn't locate the switches itself, so I'm assuming they are integrated into door locking mechanism. I'm kind of lost there 98 Explorer Sport door triggers - Last Post -- posted image.

*4 To avoid the dome light delay and dome light time-out use the separate door triggers. In the drivers kick panel find yellow/black for the drivers door, lt. GREEN/ YELLOW for the drivers rear door, and WHITE/ purple for the rear hatch. In the passengers kick panel find gray/red for the passenger front door, and pink/lt. blue for the passengers rear door. All five wires are negative trigger and must be diode isolated together.

you can easily be checking the wrong wire, cehck again!!!

its negative trigger, so dont get mix up.

Well, I'm pretty sure those yellow/black and WHITE/ purple wires located in drivers kick panel aren't door triggers since cutting them didn't prevent door switches from operating dome light and "door ajar" light. The real problem would be locating right wires. I checked drivers kick panel three times already and I didn't found anymore yellow/black or WHITE/ purple wires. I think now the only thing left to do would be to disassemble the door and check wires there. Unless anyone else have different color wires listed as door triggers 98 Explorer Sport door triggers - Last Post -- posted image.
