Does anyone know do I need a diode to do this, if so, how do I see it up?

I want either the trunk pin or hood pin to trigger one of the zones. Can they all just joint at the wire on the alarm?

You should use diodes whenever you tie together multiple triggers. You can do it without the diodes but lights will turn on and dash indicators will turn on whenever one of the triggers is open.

So do I need n-1 diode or n dioles? in otherwords does the original one need a diode?

Also if you could tell me.. does the band side face the door pin or the alarm?
