I just purchased a keyless entry alarm system from ebay. I will install it myself but I'm having problem determining two connections. There's one orange wire and white wire in the harness that is labeled + DOOR SWITCH and - DOOR SWITCH. Where do I connect those two wires?
Thanks

Or look on Vehicle Information on your left (under General Info) for 1993 Geo Prizm Alarm Information where it will tell you that the negative door switch should be hooked up to the black wire on the fuse panel's 2 pin connector. (You don't have + door triggers, so you don't need to other wire). Make sure this _is_ a negative door trigger first-- put a DMM across it and a constant 12V signal, and make sure the DMM reads 12V when (and only when) a door is open.

BTW, if a random person came into my shop looking for a wiring diagram, I would not, as a matter of store policy, be allowed to give them one (liability issues, ya know). Plus, I wouldn't be real excited about taking 15 minutes away from a paying customer's car (that's how long it takes to get one printed out-- let me tell you how much I love that!!) to help someone (possibly) screw up their car.
