Alright, this thing is starting to make me mad. It was working fine this morning until I got to work. It chirps once to disarm, which is what it is supposed to do. When I go to lock it, it chirps 3 times and the alarm sounds. I don't know what the deal is.

It sounds like there is an active trigger. You will have to check all the tigger wires such as the door triggers and the shock sensor.

I am having the same problem as a lot of people with this dome light delay thingy. I have an 01 nissan frontier crew cab. The alarm works fine if I wait until the dome light goes out. But, if I arm it while the light is on, the alarm will either go off or if it doesn't go off that time, it will do it the next time. What should I do?

It's the G5 Arrow. I don't know the model number. I'd have to take the dash apart to find out.

You're connected to the dome light output side of the SECU. Connect the doorlock input on your Arrow to the doorpin switch side on the SECU, diode isolate each input, and you'll be fine.

Alright, here's what I've got goin on. I have an 01 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab. I am having problems with the alarm thinking that the dome light is a door open and sets off the alarm. Now, I have the BLACK/ white dome light supervision wire coming out of the brain diode isolated to the GREEN/ red and GREEN/ black power lock and unlock wires. I pulled this off the Nissan Frontier forum. (If equipped with factory dome light delay, use GREEN/ red(-) for the drivers door and GREEN/ black for the passanger doors. Diode isolate each wire! The RED / black may also be found in the drivers "a" pillar) What am I doing wrong? Is this not right?

You're connecting the door pin switch inputs to the wrong alarm wire. Your isolated door pin inputs should connect to the Green wire on your alarm (H1/9 - Negative Door Trigger Input).
Also you have one of the door pin wire colors wrong. The drivers side is as you said, GREEN/ Red. The passenger and rear doors are RED / Black however. Both wires can be found at the SECU under the dash by the steering column. If you have trouble locating the SECU, you can just pull the pin switch out of the doors and tap them there.
