My alarm has a feature that will alert me when I've left any of my doors open and I try to arm it. The wire I've connected my alarm to is my dome light wire and this light goes out immediatly when I close my door.
Now the problem:
Everytime I open then close my door and try to arm the alarm within around 2 - 5 seconds it will alert me asif my door is opened. If I do the same as above but wait for more than 5 seconds it will work fine.
Did I use the wrong wire or the wrong part of the wire?

This is caused by a slight domelight delay. As you shut the door the voltage being supplied to the dome light starts to disapate after a few seconds or however the factory has it set.. This is normal on some vehicles.

Check your alarm programming; it might have a door ajar delay feature. I had to activate it in my alarm.

He means to find all the door triggers and diode isolate them instead of using the dome light.
