Ok here's the deal, I have a Clifford Concept 400 installed on my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I have the door triggers wired correctly with diode isolation and my alarm still goes off after 30-45min after arming?
upon trying to find out why, I was testing some wires and found the wires on the door trigger side I get 10.4 volts and on the side after the diodes I get 0 volts, but when i test the grey door trigger wire coming from the alarm module i get a 4.1 volt reading??, IS THIS RIGHT? I don't understand why i would still get a false alarme caused by a door trigger when all my doors are diode isolated?
PLEASE HELP!

Did you just diode isolate or did you also relay isolate the wire ? Use diagram A

I only used diode isolation, but i have one relay left i can try.
thanks for the reply, but you don't find it odd that I have voltage coming from the door trigger wire out of the alarm brain?

I just installed the relay just how the diagram shows!
now it's a waiting game for 30 or 45 minutes to see if it false alarms..I will let you know.

Hi, u dont need to diode isolate if your using the BLACK/ blue pos. door trigger wire. You will always experiance problems if u use the yellow/black ground wire on fords unless u use a 10k ohm with 12v running though it connected to the neg. trigger wire on any ford.
