    Ok i know i will get hammered for this..lol Im not sure if this is why the dome light is going off and on while the truck is running.....I have a autopage 350 alarm,Had it for 6 years and never a problem..Yesterday i installed a 506t audio sensor for glass breakage.My alarm has a built in shock sensor...I soldered the red wire to the brain from the audio sensor for power,The black for ground and the blue wire from the audio sensor needed a 1amp diode going to the brain of the alarm..The instructions said to hook the blue wire to a instant trigger sensor input..I found one on the alarm which was blue as well,It was a negative trigger wire...Can this be where i messed up?Does it need to be a positive trigger wire?Please don't beat me up to much..lol The sensor did work fine on the negative instant trigger wire but could i have it backwards and would this do something to the dome light?I unplugged all the door pins and the light keeps coming on and off while driving...Should i check the dome supervision wire from the brain to the dome light?

    I think i found the problem...It looks like the installer used the same wire i used for the audio sensor glass breakage to trigger the dome light supervision instead of using a relay...Will i need to install a relay and put the dome supervision on the right wire instead of it on the alarm negative instant trigger sensor input?
