I have a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty.

Here's the deal, I have found all of the individual door triggers, they rest at ground then go to open circuit when the doors are open.

I however cannot get the alarm to trigger (using a Matrix 12.5, the pos. door trigger input) when all inputs are combined. The alarm will trigger when an individual trigger is connected. I have tried diode isolating and that still leaves me not working.

Bascially I need to know how to combine all the triggers and have it work.

Thanks!!

Thank you for the response. The link you provided didn't allow to me download the pdf. I wound up using the dome light wire ( I think). It was a grey / YELLOW wire in the passenger A-pillar.
