Door trigger problem for alarm, SCrew
Help, 02 f150 supercrew 5.4. I have installed a Code Alarm pc elite 7500 remote start/Alarm. This is the same as the Ford Gold remote start/alarm. Everything is installed fine exept for one thing.
When the door is opened the wires for the door or the dome light registure GROUND. When the doors are shut the wires show 12V. The alarm looks for Ground to show the door is open and triggers the alarm when armed. The GEM system goes into sleep mode at about 45 minutes. When that happens the wires go from showing 12V to being Grounded. I have tried a diode but then when the door is opened it doesnt show ground and the alarm is not trigged.
Any ideas.
