Door Open Sensor

[MANWHOR3]

Hi guys,

Can someone please help me?

Basically, from what I understand, the door sensors on the r33 are on different circuits. i.e. when the driver's door is opened and the key is in the ignition, there is a chime noise. But, when the passenger door is opened, there is no chime noise.

If i'm hooking up an alarm, how can I get it such that if either door is opened, the alarm will be triggered? i.e. where can I tap into a wire?

The reason I ask is because my alarm installer did a dodgy job.

Hi mate go to the thick wiring loom in the drivers kickpanel (to the right of your left foot) and find a thin red wire, it is one of 2 and it is the thinner one out of the 2, you can tell because the other one is a little thicker in diameter.

I have been fitting car alarms for Security In Motion for the past 5 years and if we don't know nobody does!

Next time just call us.

Can you explain something to me?

The previous alarm installer just soldered a wire onto the actual switch on the driver's door. But as I said above, the passenger's door is on a separate circuit.

So just to confirm, doing this red wire will have it hooked up to both sensors?

Cheers

To Confirm in a r33 the door sensor pick up wire is the thin red wire in the drivers kickpanel.

And as how that has been done, i have to repeat myself

It sound like your car would be fairly easy to steal.

Why?

Well not because one door does not trigger the alarm. But because the original installer obviously had no idea what he was doing. The r33 uses one wire to sense both doors opening, so having only one working means that installer -

- did not have much skill

- does not know skylines

- has probably left the alarm box in your kick panel or just under the dash

- was working to a price

I think what you should do is have a look under your dash, drivers kickpanel to see if you can see the alarm, if you can, dont bother taking it back to your original installer, take it to someone who knows what the are doing and get the entire alarm relocated and rewired.

Sure its extra money, but really from what you have said, it would most likely take less than 30 seconds to steal your car at the moment.

If you are looking to get it done fire a PM at CHRIS ROGERS, he is the man with the install contacts.

What about the cabin-light wire?

Any door opens, it joins to a single wire that turns the cabin light on. I don't know if that is dodgy or not, but it would cover the boot open too!

[Chris Rogers]

no it doesn't.

depending on car they are two different leads in two different spots.

32,33,34 &35 are diode isolated from the drivers door. all have two places to get the wire. I do not get it in the usual spot. colours are all similar.

inthe case of a S2 33 and 34 the smart entry system will foul the alarm if tied in at that point.

Thank you so much chris. You're very knowlegeable and very helpful. I will bdefinitely be getting any future alarms from you.

[Chris Rogers]

no probs.

WOOHOO this is so helpful, hey its to the right of your RIGHT foot, I got confused for a little there!

Its the loom that continues back under the carpet along the right side of the car

[Chris Rogers]

yup.

I'm not sure this is completely the same problem, but I have an alarm installed that triggers on both doors which are on separate circuits, but the interior light no longer turns on when the passenger side door is opened. My car originally had the factory keyless entry. I'm guessing it's probably a bad idea to brigde the two door wires down at the kick panel. Is there possibly any other way I can overcome this problem?

Was thinking maybe I need to link the interior light circuit to the passenger door switch via a diode, but I have no idea which wire the interior light trigger is.

Any help here would be appreciated. I don't really want to take it back to the installer they were quite rough with my interior trim after commenting how 'Nice & clean' my interior was (GT AUTOSOUND, DON'T GO THERE! If you truely value your car).

are you sure the alarm works on bith doors?

bridging the wires will only make the lights on buzzer show on both doors not jst the drivers one.

Yeah pretty sure it works, confusing I know, but that's the way it's working at the moment. Not sure if it had anything to do with the factory central locking system as both the door wires did go to that. It has been removed so I'm thinking that's the reason.

will the same wire work on my r32 gtr?

This has probly been solved i havnt read through the thread, but i made this a while ago when i disconected mine, Its a bit dodgey but its easy to do if you can make sense of it
