Car alarm and door solenoids
Monday, October 24, 2005 9:09 AM
I'm trying to install an alarm in my 97 Sunfire to alarm it, and also activate the door solenoids to pop my doors open. I originally had my relays hooked up like so:

86 and 30 to +
85 with diode to negative output on my alarm, before the diode to hidden button.
87 to solenoid

I'm having problems with that wiring, I blow fuses like crazy, and it seems like the relay wants to stick on that setting. That is the wiring diagram I got with my poppers.

Wiring with the alarm tells me something different:

87 and 85 to +
30 to solenoid (it's actually unlock or lock but i have it going to the solenoid)
86 to the alarm trigger (unlock or aux channel)
87a to ground

The alarm has negative triggers for these.

How I'm trying to wire everything up is with the driver's side unlock, it'll pop open the driver's side door, and with aux 2, it'll pop open the passenger door. Aux 1 is for the trunk.

Now for my other questions:

There is a wire (white) that is to connect to the parking light output. I was told it's a brown wire at the light switch. I tested it with a test light, and when I touch the light, relays go off, like i'm doing the turn signal. Is that the right wire?

Is the trunk light a positive trigger? If so, I should be able to hook up my + trigger input to the trunk light, and the - to the door pins, correct?

The last wire is the horn wire, but I think I have to drop the bottom cover for the steering column to access it.

Any comments/help will be greatly appreciated.
