Default Alarm in Mondeo

Ok Paul, thanks for that info... but... which wires do I need to use? Colour
codes if possible?! Locations?

Thanks

PB

I've just fitted a Scorpian Predator III alarm to my 1993 mondeo.

It locks the car fine, unlocks fine. However, I don't know which wire
to tap into to activate the door switches. (Otherwise the auto-rearm
reactivates the alarm and locks the car up again!)


The secret is that the driver's door switch is on a separate circuit to

the
other three (because it activates the "lights on" warning chime). So you
have to connect the alarm's door trigger to both the driver's door and one
of the other doors which will cover all of them. However use a diode to
isolate the driver's door switch from the other doors so you don't get a
lights-on warning chime when a passenger door is opened.
