I'm going to be adding a Clifford Proximity Sensor to a 2WFM -AS compustar. now this proximity sensor wants power, ground and the last wire wants to go to Sensor Input (-) where exactly is that on the compustar. How would I hoook up that last wire. Any help is appreciated. Thanks..

to any of the neg triggers on the alarm.
if its dual stage with 3 wires it can only do full trigger or warn away on the compustar as it is a multiplex sensor. a .8 second pulse or less is for warn away and over .8 is full trigger on the clifford alarm..
i would tie the sensor into the shock sensor trigger wires

Why not get a prox that will work with the compustar? The 2w900fm has an extra set of sensor inputs for 1st and 2nd stage.

This compustar has a little red plug with 2 wires and that whole plug is called "optional sensor" Ia that what you guys are talking about?

yes they are just the trigger connection though think you have to power the sensor seperately.. not sure don't do compustar

The clifford won't work as it is multiplexed. You can only have it be 1st or 2nd stage. You can't have both.
I would get a dfferent prox.
