Domelight Stays on After Remote Start, 2003 Honda Pilot

I just installed a Viper 5901 in a 2003 Honda Pilot and noticed that the domelights will stay on after I get in the car after a remote start. Basically, the car is remote started, doors are locked, domelights are off. Doors get unlocked, domelights come on, key turned to "On" position, domelights stay on. The only way to turn the lights off is with the master light switch. I had an Astrostart remote starter previously installed and pretty much the only wire I did not reuse was the keysense. I've read a few posts were not hooking up the keysense would cause the domelights to stay on unless the auto lock/unlock option was used. I am currently utilizing that feature but the domelights remain on after the doors auto lock. Someone mentioned diode-isolating the door trigger to ensure the domelight is not getting a ground from the remote starter. Is this worth a shot? I'm not exactly sure anymore what the keysense was wired to on the remote starter. What is it normally wired to? Other than that, everything else works perfect, after about 10 hours of a tedious installation. Thanks for you help.

EDIT: My car has factory domelight supervision and therefore the domelight supervision wire on the remote starter is not hooked up to anything. It also was not hooked up to anything with my previous remote starter. The negative door trigger on the remote starter is connected to BLACK/ white at interior door switch.

Did you hook up the brake wire and is it functioning properly?

+1 for steven. try rs, hop in the car and step on the brake. if it shuts down, the dome light should turn on then turn off after 30 seconds(fades).

Hmm, that is weird.

Every time I've done those without keysense, but with ignition controlled doorlocks enabled, the domelight has always gone out.

You could try a couple of things yourself before taking the car apart.

1. Go through your usual routine of parking, locking, starting, unlocking, and getting in.......but this time leave a key in the ignition when you park the car. When you hit the remote start, the key in the ignition will be emulating keysense.

If it works right with the key left in the ignition, you can be pretty sure that connecting keysense would fix the issue.

OR:

2. Go through your usual routine, but when you go to do takeover and the domelight stays on, try messing around with the locks....unlocking, relocking, and so forth. If you can get the domelight to go out this way, maybe it's just a timing issue as to when the Viper locks the doors.

OR:

3. What wire(s) from the Viper do you have connected to the car's domelight wiring? Did you connect (or try to connect) the BLACK/ white "domelight supervision" output to the car's wiring?

yeah, you have to hook status out to keysense...with diode, or pulse drivers door trigger after shutdown but easier first way
