Default alarm installation question

I have 95 honda del sol and could not figure out where some wires go to. here's the image scanned of the installation manual.



1. On the main unit, there are 2 wires. one for "(+) door pin switch" and "(-) door pin switch". And there are "PWR DOOR LOCK" and "PWR DOOR UNLOCK". How do i match up these 2 wires? And this is all i need to do so alarm unit can lock and unlock the door?

2. There are 2 wires for the dome light. one says "Dome Light output - connect to vehicle dome light wire" and the other one says "Dome light input - to (+) or (-) as needed. What's the difference b/w these 2 wires? on circuit diagram it says DOMELIGHT BLK/WHT(-). Which i sould connect to this wire from the circuit wire?

3. There's a port that has 4 wires and says, "Red Port - Doorlock output." what is that for? Do i have to connect it to somewhere? (on the manual, it's circled with blue pen)

Only use one. You will find all hondas have negative trigger door pins, meaning they will test as ground when the door is open.

And there are "PWR DOOR LOCK" and "PWR DOOR UNLOCK". How do i match up these 2 wires? And this is all i need to do so alarm unit can lock and unlock the door?
..........
asuming the out puts are negative, it should just be a direct connection.


2. There are 2 wires for the dome light. one says "Dome Light output - connect to vehicle dome light wire" and the other one says "Dome light input - to (+) or (-) as needed. What's the difference b/w these 2 wires? on circuit diagram it says DOMELIGHT BLK/WHT(-). Which i sould connect to this wire from the circuit wire?

Dome light output is goin to go to your dome light. Once you have found the negative door trigger, do a simple test. Close all the doors and ground that wire.... does the doem light come on? if not you'll find the dome light output going up the a pillar to the light switch.
Dome light inut, if you have a negative switching dome light hook this wire to ground, if its positve, then hook it up to 12 + V. the idea is what ever swiches your dome light on (-, + ) is powered by this input.

3. There's a port that has 4 wires and says, "Red Port - Doorlock output." what is that for? Do i have to connect it to somewhere? (on the manual, it's circled with blue pen)

not sure. maybe some kind of inverter or doorlock module connection, onboard DL relays... (?)

You said "You will find all hondas have negative trigger door pins." So i do connect (-)door pin switch with which wire? with "PWR DOOR LOCK" or "PWR DOOR UNLOCK"?

You are confused.
-Neg. door trigger-&gt;refers to when someone opens your door and the siren/lites go off
-Lock/Unlock-&gt;refers to the door locks locking/ unlocking when you arm/disarm your alarm.

In your case.
Violet(+ Door) is not used (safe off this wire)
Green(-Door) connects to a Green w/red stripe(door trigger)
Grn/Vio(dome light out) connects to the same Green w/red stripe(door trigger)
Blk/Red(dome light in) connects to ground

yes i am so confused but your response helps alot. So door pin swich makes alarm goes off when it's armed and door is open. And Door lockoutput is the one that locks and unlock the doors when i press the buttons on fob.
Here's some question.

1. I connect green (- door pin switch) with green/red (power unlock) then i dont connect any wire to green/white (power lock) wire?

2. I am reading the12volt.com and there are many different types of door lock, single wire, 3 wire negative, etc. which diagram should i follow? and do i have to use relay?

-----------------

Thats not what he said.

"Green(-Door) connects to a Green w/red stripe(door trigger)
Grn/Vio(dome light out) connects to the same Green w/red stripe(door trigger)"

This ( door trigger, and dome light control) has nothing to do with remote locking or unlocking.

When/ if you can find the lock and unlock wires of the vehicle, those will get hooked up to the lock and unlock outputs from your module.

Its a honda, so your locks will be negative trigger. test the output of you module , and if it's negative also, then you can hook them ( the lock and unlock outputs from the module) up directly.

You are reading too much into the door locks. Hondas have the simplist door lock system. (Negative triggered) All you need to access is two Honda wires and send ground to one to lock, and ground to the other to unlock.


Door trigger has nothing to do with it Power door lock/unlock
Dome lite has nothing to do with Power door lock/unlock

Let me say it again(from the information provided):

Violet(+ Door)[Alarm Wire] is not used (safe off this wire)
Green(-Door)[Alarm Wire] connects to a Green w/red stripe(door trigger)[Honda Wire located in drivers kick panel]
Grn/Vio(dome light out)[Alarm Wire] connects to the same Green w/red stripe(door trigger)[Honda Wire]
Blk/Red(dome light in)[Alarm Wire] connects to ground[Honda Chasis]

If you want Power Door Lock/Unlock information, you have to post up the lock/unlock diagram, until than forget about door lock/unlock or you will just confuse yourself.
