i am having trouble with my domelight supervision connections.vehicle is 95 del sol with viper 5704 two way

this is how i am connecting them.

87 ground
30 negative door trigger wire on car
86 alarm black/white dome supervision
85 12v

and then switched 86 and 85

the dome light doesnt come on armed/disarmed and when alarm is going off.
im stumped!

 

 

Your wiring is electrically correct, although not strictly conventional WRT to 85/86 and 30/87 (usually +12 on 86). This shouldn't matter though.

On DEI alarms, there is a menu item to enable or disable dome light supervision. Make sure this is turned on.

Does your dome light come on when the door is opened and dome light set in the "auto" position?

What happens if you ground 86 (or your dome light supervision wire) with the door closed and light switch set at the mid point?

A diode should probably be placed across 85/86 with stripe facing your +12V. -- I don't know if this is strictly necessary, but the supervision lead from the alarm is low amperage and the load you are switching is not. <-- Maybe FCM can clarify this.

 

Correct, Diode is not needed

 

Thanks!


And to the OP, if for some reason you can't get this to work, I wouldn't sweat it. After getting back in the car about three times after installing the alarm I turned this "feature" OFF.

With the dome light on, everyone on the outside of the vehicle can see what YOU'RE doing, and you have limited visibility to the outside world (think one-way mirror into the interrogation room). I would rather keep it wired to the door pin and turn off immediately after entering the vehicle.

 

 

that is true, but my car stays in the garage. i have another vehicle i take out to go to work and other places

 

and to wrx killer sti eater

can i get a quote on how much you would charge to do the remote start? pm me thanks

 

OMG!!! you are not going to believe this! the viper 5704 uses wire color black/ yellow tracer not the usual black/ white tracer.. lol anywho i finally got it to work like so

85 Black yellow Domelight supervision
86 12v
87 Door trigger wire
30 Ground
