NEED SOME HELP WITH ALARM WIRING
Hi
I just installed THE PYLE PWD250 car alarm everything works good but i would like to hook up the hood and the trunk to it but on the manual it is telling me this for the trunk • ORANGE/WHITE WIRE - Trunk trigger (-). Connect to an optional trunk pin switch that shows ground when the trunk is open. And this for the hood • ORANGE/GRAY WIRE - Hood trigger (-). Connect to an optional hood pin switch that shows ground when the hood is open. Does anybody have a idea of how i can hook them up to the alarm because there i'm lost ? |

the wire for the trunk trigger is light blue. It is pin #7 in a white 30 pin plug at the fuse box under the driver's side dash. The wire for the hood is white and can be found 3 different places. #1 is at the hood switch. #2 is at the theft warning ecu which is behind the passenger's side glove box pin #4 in a white 36 pin plug. #3 is high behind the fuse box under the driver's side dash pin #16 in a 17 pin blue plug.

Unless a Yaris has a factory alarm, it doesn't have a hood switch.

So for the trunk i should just connect the orange and white wire with the sky blue that you mentioned and it should work right ?
And do you have a name or a reference of a switch that can be bought to add on the hood ? |

blacks where do you live? I have a drawer full of hood switches. I can send you one for free.
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...#windowcontent this is what they look like. It is small enough I should be able to mail one in a normal envelope depending on where you live. |

That is what you need. I just went and looked under my hood. 2 options popped into my head right away. Where the back bolt holding the headlight in is on either side there is a hole in the metal. You could mount it there or at the front beside the rubber hood stops there are plastic thingies that mount the front bumper. You could remove one of those and mount it there. Either way you do it it needs to be mounted to metal. When the hood is closed the switch is open. When you open the hood the switch closes and touches the metal of the car sending a negative to your alarm.
