Next we move onto the door switches. I was missing a switch on the passenger side front so I needed to "borrow" one from the wifes car for this job. Pictured is the switch above. As you can see they are a simple item which earths when the door is open and is an open circuit when the door is closed. I had a LOT of trouble getting the alarm to work with these switches, and was also disgruntled to find that the alarm would only be going to one switch. What I ended up doing (and recommend) was wiring the alarm into the interior light wiring, that way when any door is opened, the light comes on and the alarm gets the signal and activates (if it is armed).
