most of the door trigger, door lock wires, etc are right behind the radio, if you have an after market deck, pop the deck out and look for a green plug, there should be 2. You can get the rest in the main ignition harness with runs off the key cyclinder.
yes i found out those wires but what wires do i use that connect to the new alarm i go to go there, they have weird names for them instead of door lock and door unlock, it is something completely different. i am so confused any help would be great.
From what I can see of the unit it's pretty basic. Here's and interpretation of what your alarm colors should correspond to on the car: ( left column is the car color and right column is the alarm colors.
| Constant 12 volts | WHITE | RED |
| Ignition 12 volts | BLACK / YELLOW | Wire this up to the IGNITION disable relay as per diagram on the alarm using the ORANGE wire from the alarm as your trigger for the relay. |
| Starter | BLACK/ WHITE | N/A |
| Dome Light | L GREEN/ RED (-) | N/A |
| Trunk Pin Switch | BLUE/BLACK (-) | GREEN ( must diode isolate if using door trigger as well ) |
| Parking Lamp | RED / BLACK (+) | WHITE ( use just one of these wire) |
| Power Lock | GREEN / WHITE | GREEN or BLUE. Wire diagram doesn't tell you really.Hook it up to this wire and if you arm the system and it locks, then you have the right wire. If not reverse the wire with the unlock wire. |
| Power Unlock | GREEN/ ORANGE | GREEN or BLUE. Wire diagram doesn't tell you really.Hook it up to this wire and if you arm the system and it locks, then you have the right wire. If not reverse the wire with the unlock wire. |
