I'm trying to figure out how to wire up a Clifford Matrix 2 alarm to the door locks in an '03. The alarm brain puts out a (-)Lock/(+)Unlock wire, and a (-)Unlock/(+)Lock wire (low current outputs--but I'll buy relays if I have to).

I'm pretty sure the factory wires of interest are the pink/black for lock, and yellow/green for unlock, and I think the pink/blue ("disarm defeat"?) has something to do with it too.

Could someone tell me how to hook this up? All 3 of those factory wires show ground normally, and the pink/black pulses +12 on lock and the pink/blue and yellow/green both pulse +12 on unlock, but if I feed in +12 to them I just blow a fuse. And if I ground them it doesn't do anything.

Sorry if this question is really obvious, but I just can't get it to work after several hours of trying...!

Thanks--

Use the wires on the keyless entry module. You want Gray/Orange for the unlock signal and Gray/Green for the lock signal.

If memory serves, our doors are negative trigger. So, hook the (-)Lock/(+)Unlock wire to the Gray/Green wire on the keyless module, and the (-)Unlock/(+)Lock wire to the Gray/Orange wire on the keyless entry.

 

OK, those are different colors than I have seen listed before. I will look for them in the harness. This was my reference (not sure how accurate it is):

Also, do you know what wire is the trunk release and where its located?

 

Keyless entry module, black/yellow wire.

 

Here is a pic of what I think is the keyless entry harness. I don't see any Gray striped wires. Did they change the colors for the '03?

 

Opos, sorry, I was giving you colors of the alarm wiring, not the wires on the keyless module. Gray/Orange should be Green/Red, Gray/Green should be Black/White, and the Black/Yellow was correct.
