It depends on which door. And whether you have keyless entry or not.

You are a life saver, I couldnt find schematics anywhere. So since I have a Crew cab with Keyless entry there are 4 different wires? or do they all tap into one.

It appears from the diagram that each switch goes all the way back to the VSM individually. So yeah there are 4 different wires.

Now, depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you might be able to pick up a wire coming off of the VSM. For example, the interior lights come on if any of the 4 doors are open. But then, they also come on if you press the unlock button on your key fob and they stay on after you close the doors.

That would be fine, I can set the alarm to not ativate the door alarms for 5-10-15-20-25-30 seconds after I arm it. This will give it time to turn off the dome light. This will be the trigger to notify me if a door is opened.

On the other hand i need a door trigger so that i can hook up a pulsed signal to de activate the retained accessory power after the turbo timer shuts off.

openexcess, I figure you got your alarm system figured out, How did you configure yours just go off the dome light and delay the alarm or does yours use the actual door triggers? I'd like to try and get mine to do that plus I'd like to be able to use the factory remotes/Keypad (mainly Keypad) to arm/disarm the aftermarket alarm (Compustar).

TIA, Ace
