Illuminated Entry Question Options

[Coomer]

Hello,
Today I took apart part of my dash and I've been working on my keyless entry wiring so that I can have illuminated entry.

I found out from http://www.the12volt.com that the door trigger wire is a red and white wire in the driver's side kick panel and that it's negative. Here's a pic to illustrate what I'm about to say:



The green arrow points to the only red and white arrow that I found in the kick panel, but when I took out the connector that connects the wire to another wire(The connector is circled), it doesn't affect anything. The door open sensor appears to act normally, whether the connector is in or out.

If anyone has installed an alarm or keyless entry on their Celica, can you tell me which wire I need to tap into to get my illuminated entry to work? Thanks!

Neverstop's right, the auto illumination for keyless entry will not work unless you leave the roof switch permanently to door mode.Assuming the door
illumination and the dome light are negatively triggered by the door sensor
without the wiring info available, you will have to get access to the drivers
side door open sensor. This will mean removing panels.Find out which
end of the sensor is permanently grounded using a multimeter( test with
door sensor pushed in) . The other wire to the sensor should be the dome
lamps return to ground link (when theDome lamp switch is in the
door position that is).This is the wire that your alarm /keyless entry should have its illuminator( negative trigger output) connected to,

hope this helps,

Jon
