06 f250 diesel, viper 5901

Hey, Im installing my 5901 in my truck in a few days, got about 90% of it figured out(i hope) lol. Im just so confused with the door pins and dome lights.

So from what i  gethered off many many websites, is that the door triger wire on the 5901 (H1/6) gets hooked up to the domelight supervision wire on the truck(black-lt. blue) so what does the 200ma dome light supervision (H1-9) get hooked up to. Ive read that i need to diode isolate the door pins, seeing how i have 4 doors i need to put a diode blocking truck side of wire on each door pin wire and connect it to H1-9? This is where i get confused, i know its not hard i just cant grasp it. I do have keyless entery to the truck. I want to make it so when i lock the truck with the alarm remote the dome light shuts of right away like it does with the factory remote.

Also when the remote start times out and shuts off i heard you need to get it to flash the door pin to shut the radio off, any idea how to do that?

And ive read that the turbo timer can be hook up to a switch so that it runs the time after the truck is shut off every time, this true and is all i need to do is ground h1/10?

Thanks a million guys!

i installed a 5701 on my wifes 98 taurus and i had to diode isolate all four door triggers individually as there was one for each door. i also had to double diode isolate a few days later as i kept getting false alarms from the door input trigger when the bcm went in to "sleep" mode several hours after we had used the car each day so had to completely cut each trigger wire between the door wire and bcm and place a 1n4001 diode in line band end towards door side then use another diode on each wire on the door side to the trigger wire and no more false alarms since then. i read somewhere on here its common with fords to have to do that. for her domelight i used the roller dial on the light switch panel which you use to dim the instrument lights or roll completely up to turn on the domelight, it worked flawlessly and flashes the interior lights when sounding the alarm as well as the parking lights. im not  sure about youre other wires but no doubt there are some very knowledgable and skilled people on here who can point you in the right direction

Hello,

I've been following these posts and I'm having the same problem on my 01 f-250 diesel. I'm hooking up the 5902 which is really similar to the 5901. I can't find any door triggers that are not hooked to the supervision timed delay.

I did what Twelvoltz recommended and shut off the error chirp and used the relay configuration. 

However then you don't get to utilize the features of you alarm, and you lose the door trigger error reports. 

I don't understand how to find the door trigger wires to do the diode isolation, should all these be black ground wires that i'm looking for? and once i do find them should they show 12v+ when the door is open or closed.

Once i connect my diodes to these triggers, can the diodes be soldered together into one wire then run to the alarm input or output + or -  ???

sorry for all the questions but just trying to understand.

Thank-You in advance to anyone who can answer.!

Alright thx a million!, i understand what to do with the door pins now. Gonna do the diodes even tho its a little more involved, then at lest its the proper way and full function of remote displays.

So does any one know how to flash the door pins when the remote start times out and shuts off the truck, but the radio stays on? Is there a wire that brefly gets a signal when the command start shuts off so i can hook a relay to flash the door pins, and in turn shut off the radio?

Any ideas on the turbo timer?

Thanks again!

Tony G thanks for that reply on the door triggers for the 2001 f-250.  I found my door triggers and diode isolated them, now i have a new problem.  The door triggers work great now instantly instead of being on a timed delay with the dome light as they were done before.

However now i got this problem after about 30 minutes my doors trigger and the alarm sounds off. After several runs out to the driveway with my shotgun in hand i realized i got something going on with the wiring but am confused.  Anybody want to enlighten me? I think i'm getting a pulse somewhere.  

 I found only three door trigger wires for four doors?? one wire goes to the two rear doors and one each to the front two.  independently.  I did not cut the door trigger wire i stabbed the band side of the diode into the doors wire, and soldered them in. the other side of th diode i soldered wire to it and tied all three door trigger wires together and temporarily wire nutted them to the alarms negative trigger wire.  Did i do this wrong?  

Hats off to to anyone with some advice.

< language=> Monty do you have one of these for an 01 f-250?  Tony_G I didn't have the problem with my radio because the 01 fords don't have this feature. I know what you mean my work truck is an 08 superduty and the radio stays on untill you open the doors. So anyway Luckily i didn't have to deal with that on the 01.

Might I ask again How do you double diode isolate? And do you think this will solve the problem if i go back and do over this way? and also Did I do the single diode isolation properly as i explained in one of my earlier posts?

I might add that when I installed the diodes I used 1AMP diodes but when i completed the work I noticed the radio shack diode package said "Assorted 1AMP diodes" some said 1N-004 some 1N-002 some 1N-006 etc. I know that two of them were 1N-004, but the third was heat shrinked before i realized this. Originally i thought they were all the same.

This alarm install has been a rewarding experience! I've been forced to learn a lot about electronics, and my six year old has got one hell of a throwing arm now after opening and closing doors by his calculation some 600+times.  I'm glad i did this but still hope I never have to do this again!

Here's another question.

Instead of diode isolating each door trigger why couldn't a person just stick in one diode in the wire going to the alarms negative door trigger wire.  wouldn't this do the same thing since each door trigger ties into this?

Thanks t&t,

I diode isolated each trigger wire ...Just can't seem to figure out why i'm getting a door trigger error exactly 30 minutes after i arm the system.

sorry may be a stupid question but what would hooking dome supervision wire to the door trigger do?

When i lock the truck with the remote, the dome light stays on till timeout, is the only way to shut that light off, is to connect the lock wire from the alarm to the bcm and not at the driver side kick?

Nevermind, i just programed the alarm to turn off door chirp.

Hey guys thanks for all the help, got the 01 superduty up and running with the new 5902 alarm.

I had trouble with the door triggers getting a false alarm after about 45 minutes of being armed. so i went back did a double diode isolation on each door and ran a new trigger wire to the negative trigger input on the alarm for each door. Problem solved works like a charm.

Now i'm curios if my shock sensor is working and also if my tilt sensor is working, I have the shock sensor up to 13 and when i kick the tires slap the windshield or even jump up and down on the back bumper, no triggers go off?? I'm assuming 15 is the most sensitive and 1 would be the least is this correct? I wired the tilt sensor to orange ground when armed, red to 12 v power and light blue to the negative door trigger is this right?

Any thoughts or comments?

Hello again

I'm back with new problems...and  I thought all the fun was over!

Well I read back through these posts because i thought either Tony G or Party Boy had an issue with the radio. But seems mine is a new and unique problem.

I have three issues, one is that the Radio powers on when the key is turned back to acessories position, but does not power on in the on position.

The second is the truck only starts when the door to the cab is closed, I used to be able to open the door and reach in and start the vehicle while standing outside, now it will only start by remote or when in the cab and the door is closed. 

Last problem may be just a feature of the alarm ...........the windows will not work untill the dome light timer goes off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
