I have a 2008 ford mustang GT

I am installing a Clifford X-50 alarm and I seem to be having one last issue before getting this working fully.

My relay will turn my supervision lights on during disarm and I can hear the relay click, but they will not turn off when I arm.

If I understand relays, (not my specialty) the relay switches from 87a to 87 (or visa versa) when activated. How do I get it to go from 87 back to 87a.

I believe this is my problem.

Does it require some kind of other component to do this?

Thanks for any help

The car is keeping the domelight on, not the alarm.

Correct except I have the polarity set to (+) I think because it seemed to work backwards.

If I only hit new keyfob to arm, nothing goes out and lights will dim after about 25 seconds but shock sensor will only work on alarm. But factory alarm is not set.

If I arm car keyfob first then new keyfob factory alarm all seems to work along with new alarm funtions.

I coudn't find the install manual for that alarm....but it might be equipped with a domelight delay learning feature. When, you hit unlock on your alarms tx, it is triggering the cars factory domelight delay, as Jworm said.

sounds like u don't have the correct factory disarm... or your light is stayin on because the relay is staying activated..... u may have to program a feature on the system.... or u mite have yourself a bad output on the system...... what the other guy said about how to wire it up sounds rite though..... if u followed that u should be golden..... otherwise... get your dmm out and start probing wires..... it will tell u where the problem is... and why it's happening.......
there can be only one.......
