I have a 06 Ford Explorer, when I test the voltage on the power lock (gray yellow) it reads postivie at rest and almost ground when you push lock. then on hte power unlock (PURPLE / gray) I get ground at rest and postive when I press the unlock button. The output from my alarm HT-800 is negative. Notsure whichdoor lock system I have. I thought it was positive but it seems to be positive and negative. How do I set this up. I have tried to convert the voltage using a relay but it did not work unless I did something wrong. ------------- CP

| LOCK | Gray / YELLOW | In driver's kickpanel | - | | UNLOCK | Violet/gray | In driver's kickpanel | - |
Should be NEG(-) trigger. -------------

Kar TuneMan, I hook them up and all that happens is the doors lock but dont unlock. Do you think that it may just be the alarm? And the voltager on the unlock is negative, but the lock is postive, does that sound right. ------------- CP

Sounds like you have the wrong violet/gray. It should show a positive at rest, ground to activate.... ------------- Mike M2

I just brought some diodes, but I need relays too? ------------- CP

No, you don't need relays. Just run the negative lock outputs directly to the lock wires in the truck with the diode inline. Band faces towards the alarm...

Okay, that worked for the moment. The problem that happens now is that since the factory keyless entry turns on the int and ext lights on unlock and on exit it turns them off. I guess the alarm is seeing the delay in the turn out as a problems and sounds the alarm. It also is not letting lock or unlock the doors once the lights go off. Is there a fix to this? Is there anyway to make the aftermarket alarm do the same thing as the factory one, meaning upon ulock the lights come on and lock the go out. ------------- CP

Not familair with your alarm, what are you using for door trigger? Can you program a trigger dealy like you can an Avox or DEI alarm? If not, get indidual door triggers and diode isolate them.

Read the locks and security section of your owners manual. You will have to disable trim switch disable/slamlock on this vehicle. All the 06 explorers/mountaineers are equipped with it. That may be why you are experiencing the no unlock problem.

it is the HT-800. I did like you said and put the diode on the locks. What I found out is if that when the door pin/door trigger is hooked up I have the problem but when it is unhooked I dont. The problem being able not to lockand unlock the doors. Do you think that I need to hook up a diode on the door pin?

Okay, I think that I have that issue solved by disabling the pulsed unlock on the truck. I think. Now, does anyone know how to make it do the samething as the factory keyless entry. When I use the factory keyless entry and press unlock, all the light come and go off on the lock. How do I do that with the aftermarket. All it dies is unlock the doors but no lights come on and on lock it will lockthe door but the light go off in about 20 to 30 sec. Any suggests? ------------- CP

My alarm (ht-800) only has a door trigger wire. I have hooked the wire up to all four door triggers using a diode inline. For some reason the alarm does not sense the door being open and with auto lock the doors. Does anyone know what is causing the alarm not to sense the door trigger. My alarm brain has a jumper set the door trigger to neg or pos. Which one is correct for a 2006 Ford Explorer. Also is it possible to tap into the factory keyless entry system. I want to use the same door lock/unlock wire that it uses. I want to do this in order to make the lights go on and off. This is the other problem that I am having is the lights dont turn off when you start the car. thanks ------------- CP

How did you confirm that you infact found the door trigger? I have yellow/gray listed as a positve trigger, verify before hooking up. Once you confirmed you have the right wire and the jumper on the brain is set accordingly, then are you sure the diodes are going the right way? -------------

unfortunately you can not tap individual door trigger wires as the are ground at rest and open when triggered (not pos.) so you will have to go to the dome light wire to get all door triggers. i have an 07 sport trac and its the same way. what a pain in the ass it is hearing the three chirps when you arm the alarm. to get dome supervision i had to run a relay to power up that wire. and had to do the same with flood lights.

i have the same wire and i have the diode with band towards the alarm

Can you tell me how you did that? Also did your alarm already have the dome supervision or just a door trigger wire? This ready is driving me nuts, seeing that everything else works. It's like it is not sensing that wire becuase it will just arm after 25 seconds, even if you have the door open. maybe the relay will help becuase it is like the diode is not doing anything. ------------- CP

Is there anyway to disarm and arm the factory alarm with the aftermarket alarm on this truck?

06 Explorers don't come with factory alarms. Keyless entry only.

Thanks, Which wire do I tap into to make the light come on and off with locking and unlocking of hte door locks. The same as they do for the keyless entry. ------------- CP

This truck is giving me a run for my money. Problem..the alarm does not lock/unlock the doors all the time. It's to the point where I still have to carry around the factory remote for the keyless entry. It only happens when the truck is not used. In order to get it to work, I have to pop the truck window and then it works again. Does anyone have this same problem, or is it just a bad alarm? ------------- CP

NowYaKnow described why the doors aren't unlocking in his post at the end of page one. You need to shut off the "sleepy locks" in the truck. Read the vehicles owners manual, it tells you how to do it.
