I just finished installing a Crimeguard 533i4 on my new 2006 Scion xB and have a problem. I can arm the alarm with one or any of the doors open. I did use a DMM to verify the wire before the install but noticed something about the voltage differences. When the door(s) were open the DMM showed 0.01 or 0.02 and I thought that could be okay and when they were closed it would show 9.54 which I thought was also fine. Now, I have this problem. The other interesting thing is that any other behaviors regarding the doors behave normally. The alarm won't rearm unless all doors are closed, it does confirm when all doors are closed, and the alarm does go off when one of the doors is opened. Any suggestions? By the way, the wire I used for the door trigger was the same one I found on this site and was confirmed on other sites.

your alarm should still arm with one or more doors open. It will bypass the door trigger, until such time as it sees the doors are closed. Then it will begin monitoring the doors.

Ya the alarm apears to function fine from my point of view. The alarm will bypass the door zone and just use the shock sensor and ingition sense to actually set off the alarm. I dont think I have ever worked with an alarm that wouldnt arm with the door sensor open.

I am pretty positive I am using the negative door trigger, although I will double check the install instructions for my alarm. The thing I am concerned about is that when I do arm and one of the doors are open shouldn't my alarm give me some sort of confirmation that it had to bypass a zone to arm? It does this with my hood pin switch. I will double check the instructions and wiring.
