Dome light != door trigger

I have the domelight supervision output on my RKE connected to the door trigger wire on my 1999 Mazda Protege (through a relay of course). This seems like a pretty standard way of doing things and it does work by virtue of making the car think that one or more doors is open. What I don't like are the side effects of this. Specifically when I unlock the doors, get in the car, close the doors and put the key in the ignition it beeps until I turn the ignition on (and the RKE turns off the domelight output, i.e. "closes the door"). I would rather just turn on the dome light directly. None of the wiring diagrams list colors or locations for the domelight itself. Does anyone have data on this before I start tracing?

if i am following you, the beeping that you are hearing is because the key is in the ign. or because the dome light sup feature works when the parking lights are on. the car cant tell why they are on just that they are. its called a dummy chime so people dont forget to turn off the lights and kill the batteryGood Luck

Be careful of how you tie into these types of circuits. It is always better to activate dome light supervision through a door trigger. If you hook into the wrong wire, or even the correct wire for the circuit, you run the risk of blowing a module. I have replace plenty of toyota fuse boxes from people trying to tie domelight supervision into the wire going to the light.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.
