2010 ford fusion, viper 5901

just a tip, you might find it easier if you have a piece of wire comming off the other end as well.

when adding additional sensors, you will need to isolate them. I am not too familiar with the new DEI brains, but from what i remember the shock sensor is built in, andif addition sensors want to be added, its simply plug into the existing socket on the brain.

also, i would like to thank you for being patient and taking this install on to learn something, and you actaully READ what we got to say. Had my fair share of stubborn people.

 Cheers

That's one of the great things about these forums, you get the input of so many people. If you get an opposing opinion on something then you have a chance to see it from another perspective. I appreciate you and everyone taking the time to read and post what they think is the best or correct answer. As for the diodes, the wired side is going to the smart junction box. It is a pain in the a** to get at. After I see how long I need the leads from the diodes to be, then I'll solder the other end on before attaching to the SJB wires. I was going to bring these diodes down to the kick panel area in case they ever fail. Don't want to have to get back to this SJB again. I was hoping to avoid going to the SJB altogether, but it is the only place my install sheet lists for location of the door trigger wires. I asked on an earlier post if I could connect my parking lights at the headlight switch, but they didn't recommend it. Since I have to go to the SJB for the door triggers, it's not that much more bother. On the subject of the 5901, it has a single "mux" input for an add-on sensor. I plan on using it for a proximity (radar) sensor.  I believe for additional instant trigger inputs you are suppose to use the blue H1 trunk trigger wire. I also purchased a tilt and external shock sensor in case the internal sensor wasn't sensitive enough. Hopefully I won't need the external sensor. Thanks again!

I tested each lead after I attached them to the door trigger wires. The DMM showed a limited continuity reading to ground when the door was closed, and no reaction when the door was open. Thought this sounded right. Trunk trigger works fine. So does the hood trigger. Anyone see this before? Thanks

After I thought about it some more, I think I'll have to use one ot the DTIMAZDA trigger inputs for the trunk trigger. And the corresponding DTIMAZDA output to the SJB. Correct?
