I installed a Compustar CM3000 (2wSS-AS) into my Ford 2005 F350 V10 and I'm left with one issue that I can't resolve. The vehicle has an existing dome light/courtesy light system that keeps the dome light active for about 60 seconds after the doors are closed. As a result, when I exit the vehicle and arm the system, the system believes that there is a door ajar, since the door trigger is wired into the dome light supervision circuit (this was the recommended wiring from Directech's Directwire service). How can I fix this without waiting 60 seconds (sometimes my kids do leave a door ajar, so it's handy to have this feature functioning)? Is there a wire that goes to the VSM or some other module that will kill the dome light (the alarm has extra pulsed output triggers that I could tie in). The only other alternative I can think of, and one that is not so desired, is tie into the actual door switches for all four doors with diodes to the door trigger line on the alarm unit. However, I don't have the wiring info for this (what color wires and where they are located in the truck).

I also have Ford's wiring schematic for their OEM/dealer installed alarm option and I see that they are tying the door trigger wiring on that alarm into the same dome light wire I'm using with my alarm. I'm assuming that there alarm unit ignores the signal for 60+ seconds. As for the dome light delay, it is not a feature I need anyway, so I'd be more than happy to kill the feature if anyone knows a way. That would cure this problem too.

If you use the Red, and the Yellow in the drivers door boot, you wont have to worry about the dome delay. NEG(-) pulse them BOTH at the same time it will lock and arm. These wires are connected to the last 2 buttons on the drivers keypad on the door 7/8 9/0 This will shut the dome light off and lock the doors!!!

Thank you both for your feedback. I'll try one of these solutions and, if I can't get it to work, I'll try the other. GoofNut - for the ORANGE / green, are you suggesting just to pule it low (-).

Thanks again to both of you for the quick feedback!
