Help! +12VDC wire on Ford with delay dome light

Hi Guys,

I am still having problems with the door triggers on a 99 Ford Super Duty. I found the BLACK/ blue wire in the driver's kick panel that shows +12 volt with the door open. However, that damn dome light delay is messing with the door trigger on the alarm.

Could someone please tell me how to get around this problem, or suggest another door trigger wire that avoids the dome light delay? Could you please supply diagrams if a diode or relay is needed and /or wire color and location?

Thanks guys! You guys rock!!!

Thanks for the reply!

I can not seem to find whether or not the alarm can be programmed for the delay (Viper 300+). Someone suggested finding alternate wires that are not affected by the delay dome light. Any ideas???  HELP!! PLEASE!!!!!!

Hey Shaun! Thanks for the reply!

Do you have any idea how to program the alarm  to avoid the second chirp?

Thanks Bud!

I have a python 1500 that I installed on my truck.  I'm not certain they are the same, but it's worth a try.  First make sure the door triggers work and that you have the valet switch hooked up.  If so, open a door, turn ignition on and back off.  Press and hold valet switch.  After 3 seconds the siren will chirp once.  This lets you into menu 1.  Since what you need is in menu 2 keep holding the valet switch until the siren chirps twice.  After that release the valet switch.  Then press and release the valet switch 6 times.  After that press and hold the valet switch.  The siren should chirp 6 times.  While still  holding the valet switch you can toggle the option on and off with the transmitter.  I'm not sure what buttons to use on your transmitter, but if the siren chirps once while you are doing this last part then the option is on.  If it chirps twice then it's off.  After you get it to chirp twice release the valet switch.  You shoud be finished.  To exit the learning routine close the door or turn on ignition.  Check to see if it worked.  If the menus and options are different from mine then I would suggest doing the same thing again and turning the option back on because I'm not sure what it is.  It might need to be on.  But if it is the same it should take care of the second chirp.

Hey Shaun!!

Hey Karl

What brand of alarms are you using that have programming for domelight delays etc...?

Do any of the Cliffords have this feature?

Thanks Bud!
