Default AU94T Proximity Sensor is Crazy

Alarm: Clifford Matrix 50.5x
Problem: DEI/Crutchfield AU94t Motion Proximity Sensor

Heres the problem. For some strange reason, my sensor has been going nuts. Its been triggering my alarm when nothing is moving. So today i noticed that the sensor would flash the green warn light, even though nothing has moved. So everytime I arm it, whenever that green light flashes the alarm would go off.

Now after i researched the wiring of the sensor, i have it wired as so, but the catch is the motion sensor has black, red, blue, and orange.??? From the search i noticed that the senor isn't supposed to have orange but a green wire. Strange right. I using a DEI 4 pin shock sensor harness that plugs into the alarm brain. So according to the results the motion sensor is wire as blue and orange (sensor side) wired into the blue wire (alarm shock sensor harness side), red (sensor) to the red (alarm alarm shock sensor harness side), and black (sensor) to alarms orange.

From the new wiring, sensor would flash green but wouldn't set off the alarm, it would make my lights blink, sense i dont' have a siren, i use the horn. But as soon as it flashes red alarm goes off. But the thing is, the when the exterior adjustment is on full positive (sensitivity range) it wouldn't flash but as soon as i adjust it to lower its sensitivty it would flash green on its owe and keep flashing in increments. Now the interior adjustment has no affect on movment. I would have to be 2 inches from the sensor for it to flash red.

Any ideas?

Well i guess the real issue is that my prox sensor flashes green (ext. range) every 8-10 seconds. Thus setting off my alarm when its armed.

I started to have similar issues with all of mine after 2-3 years of use. Now I've stopped recommending them, but haven't found a suitable replacement. The 508D is still absolute junk.
