wiring trunk pin switch to door trigger

if you open the door and the domelight comes on..but the alarm doesn't ring..you are not connected properly to the trigger wire or....the alarm has bypassed that zone because you are checking it too many times in a row. If thats the case turn on the ignition after each time you check it.

BTW..are you using a meter???... because if you were you would know why things are not working right..so be sure to use one. Thanks

Oh..and on your vehicle the trunk wire is black at the light and should throw a negative when the trunk is open. Connect the HOOD/TRUNK negative instant trigger INPUT wire to that..close everything up...arm it...wait 20 seconds..and open the trunk with the key...the alarm should sound....now remote start the vehicle with the trunk open..you will find it will remote start just fine if everything else is correct.

Use the negative SHUTDOWN wire for the hood pin for safety. If the vehicle does not start with the hood closed you need to adjust the pin. Make sure if the system has a neutral safty switch wire that you ground it..that is safe for your vehicle but it won't start at all with the remote otherwise.

Well the trigger inputs of the RS system should be able to handle positive or negative without burning up..after all those wires will typically see the opposite polarity depending on the door being open or closed.

But yes..when you state "I can't get anything to work" all that tells me is you are not checking the basics with a meter..main power, ground, ignition and so on. Without knowing whats there you can't really troubleshoot properly...don't depend on luck or guessing. See what the meter says..it doesn't lie.

Ok forget the last post. The entire system works fine. Here the siren is supposed to chirp twice when disarming, the parking lights are supposed to flash twice and then come on again, because I have illuminated entry delay. And the reason why my service light was coming on was because I still had the fused pulled for the horn. Once I put that fuse back in, bye bye service light. So very duh on my part. But I still want my trunk to trigger my alarm. Does anyone have any ideas at all?
