Accessories/Diodes help please

Hi, i'm currenty about to install a trunk release kit, 2 mercury switches for hood and trunk, another duel stage shock sensor and a audio/glass sensor all DEI accessorie models. They are going in an clifford matrix 2.5 alarm system. Anything i need to know as far as diodes are concerned/relays or anything in particular? I'm kinda new into the diode scene and i read the basics of the diodes,but i dont understand where to put them and how to keep them inbetween the wiring,im assuming soddering,correct? Thanks for the help!

here's an easy way to remember it.....band side always goes towards the ground. it holds true in every situation for diode isolating.

oh, btw, i usually try to refrain from using mercury switches because if you park on a steep hill, there's a high chance of the mercury switch to be making contact already. good luck!

So out of the acessories im adding in, how am i to know when to use a diode and what type of diode do i use. 1N4004 1amp diodes?

that diode is fine....use them when ever you are using more then one sensor.....Good Luck

And if im understanding correctly, they are to be inserted on each sensors negative ground trigger right?

that is correct......most sensor will have a blue wire.....Good Luck
