hello everyone,

just installed a clifford avanteguard 4 which works great!

just wanted to add a bi-colour led in each door pin, so when the car's unlocked it shows green, and when its locked it shows red. Does anyone have a wiring diagram of how to do this??

cheers

i am an idiot

The only way I know of to do this is to install a magnetic switch inside the door. Let me know if this is something you are willing to attempt and I can go into more detail.

Or a twin coil Omron latching relay from RS in the UK:- latch.bmp

The AG 4 was the best alarm-R/S ever made, quality wise.

yeh still want to do this. my mate had it done to one of his cars years ago. I think he said it uses one normal 30 or 40amp relay plus two smaller relays, with a five wire door actuator. Any help would be great!

What help? Don't use a regular relay, your battery will die overnight.

What car by the way and did it have factory central locking?

Just out of interest, surely if the car is armed the doors will be locked anyway? So this is all completely unnecessary.

Is the alarm controlling the locking or is their a separate, either blue or grey central locking relay, in other words has the installer wired the alarm as neg lock outputs or 5 wire?

I wired the alarm up, its controlled by the clifford. I think it sits at neg rest.

Did you use the 6 Clifford wires or 2/3?
