did you use a relay for the domelightsupervision?

if you didnt use a relay, you may have blown the circuit. the DLS wire can only ground a 200ma or less relay coil.

what vehicle, and how did you wire the DLS?

if the DLS wire from the alarm shows ground all the time with nothing hooked to it, it is defective.

i would only test it with a meter.

using a test light (reverse or back feed testing) might damage it if the light draws a very heavy load on the output.
