Not only that but some of these systems connect through to ground instead of passing current so also check if any switch pins connect to ground at any point (activated or not)

Hi, I installed this in my TOYOTA, there is no chip in my key, and I chose to cut my key and leave it in the barrel. The issue I have is that the door/key alarm beeps when the doors are open. Did I do something wrong? And I canāt manually lock my doors with the doors open. I have to close my doors then I can either use the alarm remote or use the manual door lock. Or do I have to live with it?
There is a key inserted sensor (switch) in the barrel that activates the āhey you left your key in the ignitionā beeping when the doors are open. You could find these wires and manipulate them to make it āappearā that your key is not actually in the ignition. I donāt know if that means shorting them or cutting them so they are permanently open, you will need to test or refer to your maintenance manual.
I also donāt know how this will affect other aspects of operation of your vehicle and/or built in anti-theft system. Testing is necessary.

Thank you, I will look into this option.
Iām currently working on installing one of these and this is my results with the multimeter, Iām unsure of which wire would be which. Iāve tested these results twice because they looked pretty odd to me. Any help would be appreciated!
The one 1 mark on acc 2 is wrong I donāt have an acc2
Apologies,
I thought I had replied, I just saw this in my ādraftsā (I currently have another 16 drafts, plus this on 
that I need to finish or delete)
since Iām not doing the testing myself itās Tricky to be certain over the interwebs.
MY BEST GUESS IS
Power on āStartā for ALL wires has thrown me (except Green, but thatās good)
No worries, whatās funny is I actually figured this out the next day and just forgot to update. Iāll post a picture of how I wired it just in the off chance someone else needs it for an 03 Toyota Highlander. I found a wiring diagram online for my vehicle and used that.
But itās all set up now and working, key cylinder is completely removed.
