I am part way through the installation of a alpine 150r alarm in my 96 ranger and running into some strange problems. I am piggy-backing the factory unit by splicing all the corresonding wires, so some of the trouble may be an incorrect info from my service manual. Currently my problems are:
-factory unit doesn't arm/disarm with alpine EXCEPT when doors are open (wtf?)
-the door switch and dome light connections are reading constant voltage the whole time, so the door trigger is not working and dome light doesn't come on when unlocked
I am not aware of a factory arm and disarm input, are there any way around this? Right now I have lock and unlock circuits doing the arming. Thanks for any halp or advice!
