I wired up my mercury switches today, one for the hood, one for the trunk.  I used diodes with the strip towards the switch.  It is grounded and the switches are working perfect.  The only problem is that when I test the hood to see if it trips the alarm, it does, but on my 2 way pager remote it says trunk.  Now I am running a viper 790 xv, I have wired up the switches to the blue H1/6 optional sensory input, I thought that the diodes were used to differentiate the trunk and the hood on the remote.  I wanted to run seperate inputs through the hood sensor input but I did not recieve a remote start harness with my alarm, probably because I bought from crappy dealers.

If anyone has insight on this problem of mine I would appreciate it, I know it just shows on the remote, but I would still like to know what part of my car someone is breaking into should the situation occur.

Thanks

By connecting both switches to the same alarm wire, there is no way to distinguish which one triggered the alarm.  The diodes do nothing to sort this out; they are used in situations where you don't want current to backfeed different circuits.

How about the wiring harness for the remote start including the hood sensor input, was I supposed to recieve that with the 790xv alarm?  It has an opening on the brain, I am just wondering if the dealers cheated me out. 

Thanks
