my door trigger is wired to the negative output of my alarm. the sirem trips off when the door is closed and not when it is open. does that mean i need to wire it to the positive door trigger output form the alarm

The door triggers are likely open, not negative. Meaning they rest at ground (explaining your false trigger with the door closed). If you tested properly with a volt meter you would have seen this, even if you hadnt read the notes in the wiring diagrams. Someone will post the diagram shortly I am sure.
