I'm hooking up a new alarm and cannot for the life of me find a door trigger wire that works with all doors. Anyone had any luck? I have tried the wires listed in most of the posts with no luck.

 

I wish I new more bro. Best of luck to ya.

 

Not sure if it will work but you can try to tap into the wire going into the Guage cluster that turns on the dash light. It works when any door open.

 

I will look into this. You may be on to something there.

 

I found the wire going to the door ajar light. I just cant remeber which one it was. Its in the junction box behin the knee panel on the drivers side. Its one of the bigger connectors. Il try to find it. I have it written somewhere

 

That would help SO much jetas. I'm pulling my hair out over this thing.

 

If it helps, not sure but doesn't the dome light also come on when a door is open.

 

Domelight FTW I have the wiring for our xb posted on here but has never been stickied amongst strong support for it to be so. I will get the link and add it.

Big plus to using the domelight on our xbs is it turns on when the doors get unlocked even if not opened, one second extra to protect your ride.



BAM

Heres what i have bro. Theres two white plugs with black clips. Its the one on the left and its a white wire, circled it in the pic

 

Something to look at also. My done light wont come on when the hatch is open. But the door ajar light will.

 

Do u have it set to "door"?

 

Yeah it will come on when the doors open. But not the hatch. My wife's is the same way.

 

That's the wire I have tapped but only triggers alarm when drivers door is open. I have it on the negative trigger on the alarm. Does it need to be on the possitive trigger?

 

Depends how ur alarm is desined to operate.

If i remember right i tested that wire with all the lights and it worked fine.

Put it to the dome light. Its a 6 pin plug with 3 white wires come out of it.

 

x2 haven't upgraded the alarm on the lunchbox yet, but if you're having this issue go to the domelight. It almost reminds me of mercedes benz that has front and rear domelights which the front is negative trigger and the rear is a positive trigger... go figure.

 

Tonight I will hook to the dome light wires and test it. I have never had such a simple project mess with my mind so bad. Back in 92 when I was an installer we never had all these options. A door pin was just a door pin.

 

The doors in the xb are all negative trigger. The domelight circuit monitors all the doors, the door wires I believe are all seperate, look at the link I left above.

The hatch in the xb is a seperate wire. You dont have to worry about it really as the hatch can only be opened when the doors are unlocked, if you have it connected to domelight as soon as the doors are unlocked it will activate the domelight.
