On these vehicles it says the door trigger rest at ground and goes to an open circut upon opening. How am i suposed to wire this up to my alarm? I would use dome light, but it is delayed.  Any help appreciated, have the car here now doing install.

Sometimes you can get away with just connecting the individual door triggers (be sure to diode isolate them from each other) to the alarm's (+) door trigger input.

use violet/white positive trigger for parking lights its in the drivers sill plate harness towards the back next to the harness that comes from the seat
the door trigger you can use a gray/violet postive trigger in the drivers kick
truck release is blue/brown positive trigger in the left rear door sill plate   i belive that wire is a higher current circuit i would use a relay
i install the ford code alarm systems and havent had an issue yet
If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

You might as well try the method I suggested. It doesn't take but 5 minutes to connect the door trigger wires (which you'd have to find in any case) temporarily through diodes to the positive door trigger input, and test to see if opening the doors triggers the alarm. This isn't a half-a**ed way of installing - all the (+) door trigger input to an alarm is monitoring for is an increase in voltage. Which happens when a normally closed door trigger is opened, since it rests at ground.
If that doesn't work, there's a diagram I've seen which involves several resistors to 12 volts which supply a rest voltage for each individual trigger.
