I am hooking up an Avital 3300 to my 95 4Runner.

The alarm has both + and - door trigger inputs.

Do I need both, or is this just a bonus feature of the alarm?

Also, for the door lock outputs, the wiring diagram says the wires are blue/white and blue / YELLOW, but there are two blue/white wires on the door control relay.

I could test them, but I would like to avoid it since I have everything unhooked.

Thanks

You only need the negative door trigger for that vehicle.

Just guess on the lock wires....if your wrong you'll probably just blow something like a fuse....ECM....BCM.

Do it right and break out the multimeter.

Catch your wires coming out of the door boot and test them with a multimeter. is better than trying to guess. Good Luck.

Thanks for the info.

I just wanted to see if anyone knew without having to break out the DMM.

Thanks anyway

"I just wanted to see if anyone knew without having to break out the DMM."

How did you get the rest of the install done? Just by guessing?

If the door lock wires don't test by operating the switch on the door, try turning the key in the door cylinder instead---many Toyotas are wired this way, but I'm not sure about the '95 4Runner.

Also, the harness that has the door trigger will be running upward from the fuse box, toward the car's A-pillar-----it'll have two wires if you don't have a sunroof; four wires if you do.

I did most of the install with the information from the Vehicle Information Database, since the wire colors were exact in most cases. It is probably not the safest way, but it was raining outside, and I had no shelter, so I disconnected the battery to be careful. I did end up testing the wires, and the two smaller ~18 gauge wires in the center of the harness were the right ones.

Everything else works except the door trigger input, I'll have to go back and re-test.

Thanks to all for the help
