am in the process of have a toad ai606 fitted on my sprinter.
So far everything is ok apart from the door switches!
The alarm wiring needs to be connected to a 'positive' door switch and a 'negative' door switch however both my door switches run on negative, or positive cant remember! This causes the alarm to beep warning me that a door is left open even though it isnt.
As you can tell i'm not all that clued up on electronics so if i've left out any vital info please let me know!
Can anyone shed any light on this problem??
The lead going to the door switch should be possitive so obviously make a connection from that to the alarm possitive on the door switch lead.
The switch on the door screws in to the van body & thats where the swtich is getting its ground from. so on the alarms door switch lead requiring a ground connection can connect directly to the van body anywhere you see fit .

Hi, Are you sure it says alarm wiring needs to be connected to a Positive AND a Negative? Should it not say Positive OR Negative?
You see there is usually TWO different wires, one is used for negative wired door switches, and the other is used for positive wired door switches, in my experience you are supposed to use one or the other, not both.
Re-check what it says in the instructions/wiring diagram, or upload them here and we'll have a look for you.
ok, i think i got the hang of it. Will wait til next sunday as thats when the electric windows are going in so got to pull it all out again.
In the meantime could someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post or send me a copy of the wiring diagram for the heater wiring on a 1996 sprinter 312d It's absolutly freezing and with no fan my screen mists up whilst driving and my fingers start to go a blueish colour!
It seems a wiring loom for the heater got burnt because it was resting on the engine, this has been repaired and still no joy. I know i need to trace and test all wires to it bu it would help to know where all the wires are! cheers
Hi Jay1
When you sort out the Toad and electric window kits, let us all know how you got on, and what make of electric window lifts you used as I am contemplating these for my Vito.
