I own a chevy s-10 2001.... I thought i installed the door triggers right.... but im guessing i didnt (gives out false triggers).... I drew a diagram to show how i wired them using the diodes... Could anyone point out to me what im doing wrong! :) So that i can fix this ? Id greatly apperciate anyones help...

diode band should be facing the BCM. I have never had a problem with that truck! Use tan for the drivers door located in pin B4 of the purple plug, orange for the passenger door located in pin B2 of the purple plug, must diode isolate these wires.
The BCM is located to the right of the accelerator pedal below the radio. The plugs on the BCM face towards the drivers side.

replace the diode.. a bad diode will let current pass both ways..

This truck does NOT have falsing issues, it is not a ford. It is in your install or your sensors. Your guessing isn't helping your situation. Get your meter and go test all the wires and make sure that you tagged the correct ones. If everything is correct, then turn the shock sensor down.

Whoa! Did you NOT read that i did use the correct wires ? Ive already tested them, Ive gone through 3 sets of diodes. My Shock sensor? Come on now, its when the BCM shuts down and the ALARM is triggering for a DOOR not SHOCK...

i mean look at my diagram that i drew.... closely ... do i need to put the diode BETWEEN the the door wire that goes before the BCM instead of an attached a wire to it and isolating it ... ?

what type's of diodes work with this ? i first had 1n4001 and now i belive i bought some 1n4003/2 ?

How do u know it is the door trigger falsing? Is it a 2way? How do you know it is when the BCM shuts down? I have never had a problem using the door triggers on that vehicle. Are you sure the alarm is not failing. I had a brain do that before..... the alarm would go off showing the door, I thought it was a faulty door trigger, but it ended up being the brain and it sent a (-) signal from the input after sitting for a while. It was really strange, but I replaced the brain and problem was solved.

Yes its 2 way, and Its when the BCM shuts down because it works fine for about 30 mins, and then BAM it goes off and says the door is being triggerd... No it couldnt be the brain because right now i just have the door wire from the brain snipped, because of the false triggering and its not being going off..

Homie, I did read your post. You must have tagged the wrong wire. Chevy S10 don't false when the bcm shuts down. If yours does then you tagged a wire that does shut down and not a door trigger. Also depending on which model your s10 is there may only be 1 door trigger. The second wire could be the problem. So I repeat, double check the wires you tied into.
Last note, chevy bcms shut down in 15 or 20 minutes(dealer proven on many occasions) not 30 minutes.
