Ok, I recently had a viper alarm installed, however now my interior lights (dome and trunk) will not go off when the doors or trunk are open, even if you pull the fuses. We took the car back to the shop that it was installed at, and they were like it wasn't the alarm causing this and it was installed fine, the install manager even looked it over
...then they went on that it was because I had disabled my drl's and no telling how much that had messed up. Note, it didn't do this until after the alarm was installed, making me almost 100% sure they messed it up. Then after insulting us because we don't work in a "professional shop so obviously know nothing about cars" they were like we can find out what the problem is if you want to pay our hourly rate...I said no. Any ideas on what they could have messed up in the wiring? I really don't want to rip the entire alarm out and try to figure out what goes to where. Also if this helps, they had ran a wire into the light on my trunk, I undid the wire, and still the light stayed on. I'm at a loss, and not wanting to pay an ungodly ammount for another shop to find out what they messed up in the first place. Another thing I found weird, is they tapped into a brown wire in the harness that runs along the driver side door, (the one that is in the middle of the white and green wires) Any ideas?
if im reading you correctly the lights wont turn off when the doors are closed. my suspicion is that they messed up the door pins when they put the domelight supervision in or when they connected the wires to the part of the alarm that tells when the doors are open. but with the fuse out this doesnt make any sence. i would take it back to them again and make them fix the problem.
It's when the doors and trunk are open its like they done something to keep the connection open and not let the dome lights turn off. As for taking it back, I'm not going to pay them like 65/hr to find their f'up.
but if they do find ther @!#$ up you can call them on it. and not pay a cent
