Okay!! I found the door trigger wire,BUT I have a delayed dome light so when the dome light shuts off after after 10 seconds or so my alarm triggers. Would the use of a diode solve this? I have a (+/-) door trigger on my alarm with a (+) door trigger. Any help would be appreciated!!!Thanks!

ok, this got me thinking. so i cracked out the old ungo install manual for my alarm. now common sense would say all alarm companys would have this option or else it would be retarded. if you look through your owners manual, there should be a programing menu or something. there will be an option called "ignore dome light delay" or something like that. what it says here is "for use with vehicles equipped with a timed dome light circuit that stays on adter the door has been closed." you have to program your alarm to ignore the fact that the light is on when ARMING but realize when the light comes back on to be triggered. nothing to complicated. just look through the manual

If your alarm does not have this feature you will need to grab each door trigger separately and double diode isolate the wires from the dome light delay and also the GEM module.
