delayed courtesy lights 2000 xterra

i just installed a clifford cyber 4 alarm into a 2000 xterra.  i had to turn on the delayed courtesy lights feature.

now, if i lock the doors with the factory alarm keyless entry, the dome light shuts off immediately.  when i arm the alarm and the doors lock, the domelight stays on for about 20 seconds.  can i make it so that the domelight shuts off when i arm?

Not sure about the shutting down of the delayed dome light when armed, but you might have to diode & relay isolate the door trigger wires instead.

Yes you can use the dome supervision output from the alarm (if available) to do that and it's easier, most cliffords have that output.. Just arming the system won't turn the interior lights off.

elrayo, i have a concept 200 in my 99 civic.  that turns off my domelight when i arm my alarm.  maybe it's a function of the factory alarm on the xterra.

chris, i'll try out what you suggested.
