Put a meter on that wire and make sure it is showing ground ONLY when a door is opened. Keep in mind that your trunk trigger is also tied into that wire. Check all doors to make sure the door pins are functioning properly. Worse comes to worse you can connect to each individual door pin wire to the side of the steering column and diode isolate each.Kenny

its showing ground with the door open and closed.Will getting a 5wire and hooking it up like the 455t manual fix my problem or do i need to go another route?-= Michael Ingram =-

Did you wait for the domelight to turn off during your test. If it is showing ground with the door open and when it is closed and the light is off then you have a bad door pin somewhere. Try disconnecting the door pins one at a time (if you can get to them easily) until the wire no longer shows ground when everything is shut and the light is off.Kenny

i pushed all the door pins in 1 by 1 and set and unset the alarm,it worked but was still giving me the open door thing.I didnt pull the door pins out or anything,but when i would push them in and hit lock the siren would chirp,when i would let the doorpin open and hit lock it wouldnt chirp.I couldnt find the door pin for the rear hatch if there is one. -= Michael Ingram =-

Im not sure if when i open the rear hatch the interior lights should come on.They didnt.But i dont have the liftgate open on the screen in the lower dash.Also when the gate is open the factory alarm wont set, when it is closed the factory alarm will set. -= Michael Ingram =-

What do you have the door input programmed to? Normally open or normally closed? Kenny

normally open,i double checked it last night.I read that without that relay hooked to the 455t it will cause false triggers.Maybe that is the problem.I know the door trigger isnt working on the python alarm,but if i open the door when alarm is set the factory alarm goes off. -= Michael Ingram =-

should i try the normally closed?-= Michael Ingram =-

It wouldn't hurt to try it. Next step would be to test each individual door pin. I still think it sounds like a bad door pin... and the trunk/hatch may be the culprit.Kenny
