your diagram shows the driver side front door pin wire as GREEN/ purple, and the rear doors as green and the other side as yellow. it also shows them as negative trigger. it doesnt seem to show the front passenger side door. tie into each of those wires at each door and connect them the the door trigger wire at the alarm with a diode in each wire. face the band AWAY from the alarm.

ya but the wire is grounded when the door is closed and its not grounded when its open where most systems want to see a ground when its open.

you tested them and thats how they read?? if your saying that because thats how the diagram looks to show it, your reading it wrong. where it says open and closed, its not talking about the door, its talking about the circuit. have you even measured those wires with a DMM yet?

Sorry CK late getting back, ready for ironic laugh? Those colours are completely different to Euro Fords from 08!!  BUT the  08/9 Maxda 3 which is a Focus in drag uses the Euro Ford colours apart from lock/unlock and a second acc. What we've been told to do is connect to dome light and diode the + feeds to all the interior and trunk lights because of the 20min sleep cycle. Yes Ford has been using open citcuit on open hood switches for some time over here, and now they use it to feed the locking circuit logic. mustardS although I think you can change the parameters on Viper door contacts to accomodate this. Done a couple of alarms and a couple of R/S + alarms on 06-7 with no problems.

Will the Directed 1100F Bypass work for this vehicle. I used it in my 2008 Ford Escape and it worked fine, but I was having issues using it my fiances 2008 Ford Focus, does the focus have the new PATS3, because I think that might be why...

This is for a 2008 Ford Focus.
I'm thinking of using a idatalink (ads-al-ca) module with a autopage c3-rs603. This is going into a manual transmission (my personal car so I assume all liabilities) so I also picked up a DEI 689M neutral safety for manual transmissions.
Now the DEI requires a tach and door status inputs. Can I use the outputs from the idatalink to the 689m and also use the D2D to the autopage?
