First Alarm, 97 Honda Civic

I've double checked the dome relay. It is wired just as the installation manual suggests. I've disconnected the trunk from the door trigger and still the problem exists. I'm okay with the door triggering if the trunk/hatch is open. Yes, there is NOT a door open indicator on these vehicles. I have the entire wire schematic to my car and it doesn't list any. Again, the roof light is our indicator that a door is open. Take a look at that schematic I posted, you will see how the the common wire is lt.GREEN/ red. It's ran from the dome light down to the passenger, up to the driver and under the dash. That's what makes isolating the light so difficult; the door trigger IS the dome light wire otherwise, I would've looked for other options.

Here's what I've checked for in regard to following the instructions:

MTS mode exiting diagnostics:

If the remote start has entered the MTS mode but exits the mode after the system is armed/locked. Check these for possible causes.

• The vehicle door has been opened or the security system has been triggered in your absence.

• Does the vehicle have a delayed dome light circuit or does the dome light come on when the ignition is shut off? If so you may need to go to the independent door inputs of the vehicle.

• If you are connected to the dome light wire in the vehicle and cannot connect the system to the individual door inputs of the vehicle due to it having normally closed door inputs, you can use the Xpresskit DTIMAZDA module or Tech Tip # 1921 at www.directechs.com to interface with these types of circuits.

• The E-brake wire connected to the neutral safety input of the system loses ground when ignition is turned off or after a certain amount of time, with these vehicles unfortunately there is no workaround.

I can send you the PDF's I have. You're right, it's unclear on this website. The JDM and EDM market for these cars might be different than USDM such is why you're insisting the "Door Ajar" light is there. For some Honda Integra Type R (maybe other models) 94-97, they have a Door Ajar light. There are a few people who have swapped these gauge clusters into 96-00 civic but do not have any connection to use this light. The conversion is rather simple but the point is, my civic (USDM) does not have any Door Ajar lights. I don't think any USDM Civic has it. I used to have a 93 Civic Si, I can't recall if that had it. I have the factory service manual for my car as well as the wiring diagrams. I've looked high and low for an alternate solution to no avail.

Here is a link to some credible information about the pinouts in our gauge clusters:

You guys get all of the good stuff! We have to deal with swaps and conversions which can get expensive quick. Care to send me some parts? Lol. As for the issue at hand, I can rewire the doors and the dome light but I think that's just overkill for something rather minor. I'm going to take your suggestion and rule out that it's a faulty unit I have, bummer. Send me your paypal address, I'll enclose a payment for a 12 pack of beers. Thanks and cheers, mate!
