Logo comes with two wires; one black, one red. I wired the negative wire to the alarm’s orange wire (negative when armed). And the red to constant 12v. But the logo light runs constantly whether the alarm is armed or disarmed. When I checked the voltage with a volt meter I realized that positive current was flowing through the orange wire of the alarm once the alarm was disarmed! It did go to negative once armed. But went to positive when unarmed causing the logo light to constantly receive current and blink.

Do you have anything else hooked up to the Orange Ground when Armed (GWA) output? Sounds like you are getting feedback from something else connected to GWA.
If you do have other things connected to GWA, add a diode in series with each device on the GWA wire, band toward the Orange GWA wire.
If you don't have anything else hooked up to GWA, add a single diode in series with the logo LED, band toward Orange GWA wire, and this should take care of the issue.

Thank you!....
Yes, I am running a tilt sensor on that orange wire as well as the LED logo.......I will definitely try running a diode on each device!...Thanks, again....
