Remote Control  (490-0796) Installing Pin/Door Switches Faxback Doc. # 8944
Alarm System

The pin switches mount along the inside edge of the edge of the trunk and
hood, so that opening and closing the hood or trunk trips the switch and
sends a signal to the control module.  To mount the pin switches, do the
following:

1.  Find suitable mounting locations on the framing around the hood and
    trunk presses down the pin switch.

2.  Using a pin switch as a guide, mark the position for the holes.

3.  Drill 9/32-inch holes at the chosen locations.

4.  Coat the drilled holes with an anti-corrosion compound or heavy
    grease to prevent rust.

5.  Mount the pin switches with the provided nuts and washers.

6.  Adjust each pin switch so that it is pressed down at least 1/4-inch
    when you close the hood or trunk.

WIRE THE DOOR SWITCHES

This system uses the existing door switches to activate the alarm.  First
determine the type of door switch connections your vehicle has.  If you are
not sure what type of door switch your vehicle has, contact your vehicle
dealer.

Many vehicles have a single connection at the dome or courtesy light
that connects to each door.  If your vehicle has this wiring system
and the vehicle does not have a delayed dome light, use the provided
instructions for your type of vehicle.

If, however, your vehicle has a dome light that turns on before you open
the door or delays turning off after you close the door, we suggest you
have a professional install the system.

ALL DOMESTIC FORD PRODUCTS

With the supplied squeeze connector, connect the supplied violet wire's
insulated end to the door switch wire.  This connects the terminal to
chassis ground when the door is closed, and +12 volts when the door is
opened.

Connect the wire's stripped end to the control module's Terminal 11.

*  General Motors, Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Datsun/Nissan, Flat, Fiesta, Isuzu,
   Mazda, Renault, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo

with the supplied squeeze connector, connect the supplied gray wire's insu-
lated end to the door switch wire.  This connects to +12 volts when the
door is closed, and to chassis ground.  When the door is opened.  Connect
the wire's stripped end to the control module's Terminal 12.

*  Others

Use a voltmeter or test lamp to determine whether the separate door switch
wires or the single wire leading from the door switch to the courtesy light
is connected to + 12 volts or to chassis ground when the door is opened.
If they are connected to + 12 volts when the door is opened, use the
provided violet wire.  If they are connected to + 12 volts when the door
is closed, use the gray wire.

Note:  Mercedes switches vary with each model.  Some might use both wires.
       Check your auto dealer.

Caution:  If you make connection to a single door switch wire in the dome
          or courtesy light, use either the gray or violet wire, not both.
          Using both wires could damage the alarm system.

Wire The Pin Switches

Follow these steps to connect the pin switches to the control module.

1.  Connect one of the supplied, unattached brown wires to the hood pin
    switch and the other brown wire to the truck pin switch by plugging
    the wire's bullet end into each pin switch.

2.  Connect the other end of the two brown wires to the control module's
    Terminal 12.
