Hello

I am installing a Commando KE-30 keyless entry system on a 1996 Chevy Lumina. I would like to connect the dome light supervision feature. The keyless entry system has a dome light supervision wire (negative, 200ma). The manual for this system says a relay is required, but I fail to see the need.

I have read other topics on this website including one about negative door triggers on a Dodge Ram. Although I am pretty sure I do not need a relay, I would very much appreciate advice. Does anybody know if my 1996 Chevy Lumina will need a relay for dome light supervision?

Thanks!

Thats because the current draw from the dome light is 2amps and the alarm module can't support it

Do it right the first time or don't do it at all.
