Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to check to see if my door triggers are -output or +output. I have a 97 Blazer and i'm installing an alarm keyless entry system. I have a DMM but not exactly sure how to check this. My alarm has these inputs:
Violet: (+)Door Trigger Input
Green: (-)Door Trigger Input
According to the diagram I have for my Blazer it's:
Lock: Lt.Blue
Unlock: White
So how do I check this with my DMM to find this out?
Any idea on how to hook these up? I don't mean to sound so stupid but the weather is finally starting to get nice here and I want to have as much knowledge about this as possible before I go diving into it. Thanks for any help.
If you have keyless entry from the factory then they are positive and you have to
DO THIS. Probe the wire (pierce the insulation) and your DMM should go +12v when you push on the matching button. Tap into these wires
If you don't then you
DO THIS. Same thing applies with the DMM as above. The wire should only go + when the correct button is pushed. In the 5-wire you have to cut these wires in half, ALWAYS test the wires again. The wires going to the motor will not change with either button (they are cut) the switch side will still go + when the correct button is hit. Wire backwards and pop goes your fuse.
FUSE the door relays (either case).
Good Luck.
