RE: [DML] was car alarm door trigger, extra door wires.

["K Creason" <dmc4687@xxxx>]

Darryl, Martin, et al,
I've conceded that the LGW (light green + white) wire is not the way to go--
there is only one running up the roof for both doors. Getting a wire run
back and poke down without taking the headliners down is impossible, so
hooking up to the yellow is out at the moment.
So that leaves me with using the solenoid ground as suggested. Maybe I
should have listened to you all and saved myself a couple of days of
playing/crouching/cramping.
I disconnected the black ground wire running to the solenoid and earthed it
to the other ground wire coming out of the harness.
The two fat ground wires coming down the (US)driver's side rear corner roof
bundle seem to be door solenoid ground wires. I disconnected them there and
tested my actuators to the battery. No va. No go. It flashed like it was
shorting the battery. I tested for continuity between those wires and frame,
and sure enough, those wires are still earthed even though they are
connected to my actuators and disconnected at the LH roof bundle drop down
point.
Can some one please save me some more hair-pulling? My hair is thinning too
quickly naturally.
Thanks.
-Kevin

If you buy Darryl's system, it'll come with instructions telling you how to
wire them up.
It's very easy. Darryl was kind enough to supply me with a set of
instructions even
though I haven't bought a kit (experimenting with my own systems as you all
know!). IMO
this is a better solution than using the door heater wires.
