According to my vehicle wiring diagram I have one cable per door (sum 4 cables) and a negative (-) trigger . My alarm is autopage RF-420. Which graph applies to me (5 Wire Alternating , reverse polarity ...) ? Do I need to use relays and diodes ? If you can tell me what cable connects where I would appreciate it .

My alarm also has a 200mA (-) timer output . Can I use it to close all windows or do I need relays ?

Thank you all for your help to a newbie .

For locks you should not need relays Lock is (NEG)- thru a 1Kohm resistor, and unlock is ground thru NO resistor.

Follow this diagram, pretend it doesn't say Caravan. Just for ref. the resistor values are of course different.

1) My vehicle (mazda 3) wiring diagram mentions parking light (-) and (+).The first is at the harness and the 2nd at the headlight switch. Can I use only the (-) that my alarm supports ? Should I use relays ? The alarm output mentions it as "parking relay output +12 V 10A".

2) CAn I use the same output for both trunk light and hood pin ? Can I use another (-) output to connect to the trunk light wire ?

Thanks

Your mazda 3 should have a neg trigger at the headlight switch for parking lights I beleive it is a BLACK/ white wire. Yes you should use a relay if your unit doesn't support negative parking lights. Also you can use the same input for your negative trigger for trunk and hood just make sure to diode isolate to prevent any feedback. Best of luck with your install.

The disarm on this car requires a nearly 3 second pulse....

It will not need an extended pulse it just will unlock the driver door and then unlock all the others right after. BLACK/ white and BLACK/ blue in the kick panel. There are only one of each test using the key cylinder straight ground and alot easier. You will have to unlock before and lock after start or hook up the key sense wire.

My alarm ( autopage rf-420) has a 4 wire port for an optional sensor and I have a 3 wire radar sensor . Is to possible to hook it up ?

Radar wires -> blue -red - black

alarm optional sensor port wires -> blue - red - black - green

I have already tried by not connecting the green wire but the radar doesn't work.

Thanks for your help
