I installed a avital DEI 2200. Only the front door pins are activating the alarm and not the rear door pins. Any ideas would be helpful. It is a 96 Corrolla. What I found was that RED / White (-) was for the doors. I have a violet wire from the brain that says to goto door trigger (+) but I could not find this.

Where are you finding your trigger on the car?

ALL door is that color, but it's on the fuse panal itself. (its the dome light wire)

Now if your dome light doesn't come on when you open the back doors.... you have bad door pins. (it happens)

DOOR TRIGGER

RED / WHITE (-) or BLACK (-)

@ PLUG, TOP of FUSEBOX, See NOTE *1

I was just tapping into the RED / white wire in the kick panel(@plug)... So it sounds like I tapped the wrong wire.... It gave me an option on the wiring diagram I downloaded.. @PLUG or TOP of FUSEBOX.... So would I be correct in assuming that I would logically need 4 wires coming from the brain for my hookup to work and that I need to tap the fusebox wire to get all doors working.. Sounds Logical to me.. it was late last night when i gathered the confidence to even attempt this install.. hehe I was de-virginized by this experience as an alarm installer. :)

Positive door trigger is unnecessary to connect to your vehicle. That's just a feature that allows the alarm to work on other cars, mostly Fords, which have positive switched door pins.

In your case, the rear door pin switches should be easily accessible. Look for signs of physical damage, not at all uncommon on that old of a car. Also unscrew them from the body and check the wire terminals for corrosion.

A 96 Corolla has common door wires, you can safely go to the domelight. N.B. On that car, use the green - trigger, ignore the purple, incidentally does opening your rear doors bring on the dome light? Your door trigger feed should be RED / white with 2 white or silver dots at intervals.

Sorry KTM and Chris, I somehow missed your posts! Talk about repeating the obvious about checking to see if the back doors worked the dome light. Incidentally in UK cars, that wire was in a plug readily accessible in the driver's kickwell, just follow the main loom coming from the rear, a few branch off into that plug.

Well, going to the RED / White(-) worked out just fine. I was up pretty late finishing trying to conceal the wires which was absoutely ridiculous. I walked out to my car and disarmed, then unlocked the rear door, closed and armed. Then opened the rear door and the alarm was triggered.
