There are a few ways to locate the wires without the actual Factory Service Manual (~ $120 ).  The best way is to use a Digital Multi Meter.  The next best way is to use a Computer Safe LED Probe.Soldering is fun!

Thanks Kreg, you're posts have been very useful. I was able to find which wire it was by using the multimeter. That's for the parking lights. but for the door pins I don't know ( I used the cable at the actual switch for the parking lights. The thing is, I don't know if what I'm looking at is the BCM connector. I remember on my 07 mazda 3 it was under the glove box. But this one seems different.

Ok, I'm almost done. All I need to figure out now is how the Door pins actually work (and where they are). Below is an image to what I think bulldog security (and this forums) is referring to, unfortunately I have not been able to actually tell which is which. In theory, Doorpins rest at ground, so I'm thinking the BCM pullup would be sufficient to trigger the (+) Door pin trigger on the Viper alarm? Maybe just connect each of them with a Diode (band towards car) to the H1/6 VIOLET (+) Door trigger input on the Viper? am I correct? also, how do I test the pins? I've tried reading the voltage (one end on 12V the other on the suspected cable) by opening and closing the doors. If my reasoning is correct, the door should read 12V when closed and something else when open, but it does not and it confuses me. Any help is super appreciated.

Those door triggers rest at ground and when you open the door it is an open circuit.  The plug you are looking for with your door triggers  is on the side of the bcm which faces your pedals and the plug is closest to the firewall.   You need tech doc 1921 which shows you how to convert them to + triggers or get a dtimazda.  Advanced

Ohh, I'll try it first thing tomorrow. On another note. Someone suggested using the dome light instead. Since that is (-) when open.

Ok, everything is working except the PKALL. I've tried programming it, but as soon as I plug in the D2D cable, the light turns on and I can't program it. I've tried reflashing it but it doesn't help. I've also tried doing W2W, but when I do that the light won't even turn on. any ideas?

For the PKALL issue, did you set the Vipers' jumpers to "external D2D bypass module"?

Where is the PKALL's Pink wire connected to?

Where is the PKALL's Blue/White wire connected to?

Did the RX and TX plug type and wire colors match up with the prior post info?

When you say re-flash, do you mean using the XKLoader cable and flashing V4.0x firmware on to the module?

Soldering is fun!

I just reflashed with one earlier version of the firmware and now it worked. Thanks!

Thanks for all your help and support. Everything works now! Except the rear defogger, but I didn't attach it cuz I couldn't find what wire it was. Everything else works like a charm. Thanks for everyone who helped me, specially Kreg.
