opened, and up to 12 volts when the doors are closed. Note: The correct wire will show this
change when any of the doors are opened. If the vehicle has delay dome lights, remember
to take this into account when testing the wire. Note: If the car has a delay dome light the
Circuit Bypass feature will allow the system to be armed from the transmitter instantly and
will start protecting the Green wire circuit when the dome light turns off. In Last Door
Arming mode, the system arms 30 seconds after the delay dome light turns off. The
accompanying diagram illustrates a basic negative courtesy light system.
If the pin switch is mounted in the metal structure of the vehicle, and the dome light goes
out when the switch is removed, suspect a grounding-type dome light system. If the switch
is mounted in plastic, a constant ground wire will also be present. While the traditional pin
switch is mounted in the front door jamb area, also be aware that many vehicles utilize other
types of switch devices to operate the interior lights. Some imports have a sliding type of
switch and many have the pin or sliding switches in the rear door jamb area. In addition,
some vehicles utilize switches in the doors, either connected to the exterior door handles or
to the latching mechanism. A car that features the dome lights illuminating when the exterior
door handle is lifted is an example of this type of switching system.
Also be aware of vehicles which diode-isolate each door. Typically, this is usually
encountered with dash displays that indicate individual doors being ajar. The proper wire
to connect to in this type of system is the common wire which is routed to the dome light
itself.

Plug-In Accessories And Options
Plug-In Red LED Status Light:
The Red LED Status Light may be mounted in
the included combination LED Status Light and Valet Switch holder. Or, if desired, the LED
Status Light may mounted in a hole (9/32") drilled into one of the vehicle's existing interior
panels. Mount the holder or LED Status Light in a location where it can easily be seen by the
driver, and preferably where it can be seen from outside, as the LED Status Light provides
a level of visual deterrence. After mounting the combination holder, route the Red connector
to the security system control module and insert it into the small White port on the control
module. The small White 2-pin port for the Status Light is located next to the Blue 2-pin port
for the Valet Switch. For a complete description of the LED Status Light's operation, please
see the Owner's Manual.
Plug-In Easy Valet
TM
Switch:
The Valet Switch may also be mounted in the
included combination LED Status Light and Valet Switch holder, or it can be mounted to an
existing surface in the vehicle using double-sided adhesive tape. The Valet Switch allows the
operator access to Easy Valet
TM
and Valet Override modes. The Valet Switch is also part of
the programming operations for learning transmitters and changing the 21 Programmable
Features. All of these operations are explained in detail in the Owner's Manual. After
mounting the combination holder, route the Blue connector to the security system control
module and insert it into the Blue port on the side of the control module.
