A question for experienced car alarm installers?

I bought an OEM alarm for my 95 Ford T-Bird. It has all the directions and stuff. Put the siren in, went to wire up the unit and got to a point in the directions where it tells me "for positive systems, connect purple wire, for negative systems connect yellow wire". It has the same thing in a few places later on for different wires. It's really vague. I guess it's talking about the ground (earth)? But that seems weird, since all cars except for like 1960s MGs and Jaguars and stuff are negative ground (so why would it even have an option for positive ground???) Is there anything else it could mean?

It might mean whether the car uses positive or negative pulses for the door locks, etc. I helped a friend replace his door locks and did an internet search that led me to a link that listed different years/makes/models of cars and whether they were positive or negative systems. Hope that helps.

Without a doubt it will be relating to the pulsing on the central locking. If you read the alarm instructions relating to central locking it should tell you how to find out if you vehicle requires pos or neg pulse. If not, being a OEM alarm you may have to contact Ford Technical and ask the question. There should be a contact number on the back of your alarm instruction.
