94 Accord where is the door trigger?

[dkris42]

I am hooking up my alarm and i have everything hooked up except the wire for the door triggers....can someone help me find it? :paranoid:

not exactly sure what you mean by "door triggers"..... but here's some things I found....

[dkris42]

Okay i'll explain what i need

i am installing an alarm and there are sensors on the door that tell your car the door is open....well for the alarm you would arm it and someone would unlock the door and open it and that would send sygnal to the alarm to go off.....sorry if iinsulted your intellegence but that is what i am trying to figure out the wire i have to splice into is.


found this on the12volt website this is what i am looking for the right wire to get the door trigger

Door Triggers / Pin Switches
Door Triggers
Pin switches rarely need to be added to protect the doors of a vehicle. But when they do, try installing a factory switch instead of an aftermarket one on the vehicles that have a preexisting hole. The time saved is usually worth the added cost of the switch.

On some vehicles, tying into the door triggers is as simple as connecting to the lead of the dome lamp that changes from (+) 12 VDC to ground, or vice-versa on Fords, when any door is opened. However, some vehicles have a dome lamp delay and/or an auto off feature. On many of these, you will want to locate the trigger lead(s) that will show either ground or (+) 12VDC when each door is opened, that is not affected by the dome lamp being on or off.

On the vehicles that have two separate (-) door triggers that are isolated from each other, most commonly found on newer GM vehicles, you will need to use two 1 amp blocking diodes for all doors to trigger the alarm.. One trigger is for the driver's door and the second is for the rest of the doors. If you were just to connect to one of these and not both, one or more doors of the vehicle would not be protected by the alarm. If you were to tie each of these together without the blocking diodes, some features of the vehicle will no longer function properly. Below is an example of connecting them to one alarm trigger.

If you need to isolate two (+) positive door triggers, simply reverse the position of the blocking diodes, facing the anode sides towards the door triggers and the cathode sides towards the alarm.

From what it looks like you are looking for a single source that would set the alarm off no matter witch door is open.

looking at the ETM you would want to tap into the Black/White wire from the gauge assemby to the honda security system.

You will see that there are two places you could get to this wire one is connector C435 under the drivers side dash and it is pin 5.

the other would be connector C57 under the drivers seat and that one you need pin 12 you could also tap pin 16 to set it off if the trunk is open, the gauge has diodes that should prevent it from feeding back and turning on the dome light.

I have included the wire diagram and pictures to show the connector location.

I hope this helps

thank you for that....my car does not have the honda alarm system i am putting an after market alarm in....is there still the black and white wire i need behind the dash? to set thew alarm off when any door is open?

I know the alarm install companies have a database of what wires they need to tap into and where they are. Maybe one can help you with that?

[dkris42]

not around here....if their not installing it they can't help you.....do you know where the main door trigger wire is?
