Car alarm keeps going off while I am inside the truck. Keys with me

The Solace Series car alarm may keep going off while you are inside the truck with the keys because the system could be detecting a door status change through the GREEN (-) or PURPLE (+) door status input wires. If these wires are not properly connected to detect all doors or are incorrectly wired, the system may think a door is open or tampered with, triggering the alarm. Additionally, if the OEM alarm system is active, locking the doors from inside and then opening them may also trigger the alarm.

BLACK This wire is the system ground input. Connect this wire to bare metal on the vehicle chassis. Solace recommends a kick panel and scraping away any paint. All your ground connections from the remote starter and any add-ons such as alarm sensors, or bypass module should be grounded at the same point.

CN3 (AUXILIARY) NOT USED FOR REMOTE START CN4 (INPUT / OUTPUT) BLUE/WHITE - (-) 325mA DISARM This wire sends a pulse to disarm the factory content alarm system before the remote start sequence begins, with every unlock command, and trunk release. This wire can be programmed in Menu 1-06, 1-08, and 1-10 for different functions, it can also be programmed in Menu 4-02 for different outputs.

CN6 (RS232 BYPASS) This connector is used to plug in Fortin, iDatalink, and/or Expresskit bypass modules. Solace remote starters are 2-Way datalink compatible with all manufacturers. Please see either manufacturer installation guides for more info. The required data protocol must be selected in Menu 2-11. It is set to 2-Way iDatalink protocol at default.
NOTE: Turning the ignition key to the off position or 15 seconds of no activity will exit program mode. Specific Output Times can only be programmed with the Solace Hand Held Programmer. MASTER RESET (To reset ALL menus) 1. Turn ignition ON-OFF-ON. (Leaving Key in the ON position) 2.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION We recommend using a digital multi meter to test all wires in the vehicle as on-board computer systems can be damaged by using low resistance testing devices including, test lights, and even computer safe test lights (logic test probe).

WHEN LOOKING FOR A NEGATIVE (-) WIRE CONNECT ONE LEAD OF YOUR MULTI METER TO A 12V (+) CONSTANT SOURCE IGNITION (+) - This wire provides a 12V(+) Source to the Ignition circuit on the vehicle.
RPM. Connect the Purple/White wire on CN3 to this wire. Solace remote starters also have the capability of running in tachless mode where there is no connection required to monitor if the vehicle is running or not. Please refer to the Tach Learning procedure for more information.
TESTING VEHICLE WIRES CONTINUED WHEN LOOKING FOR A POSITIVE (+) WIRE CONNECT ONE LEAD OF YOUR MULTI METER TO A CHASSIS GROUND. WHEN LOOKING FOR A NEGATIVE (-) WIRE CONNECT ONE LEAD OF YOUR MULTI METER TO A 12V (+) CONSTANT SOURCE TRUNK RELEASE (-) - This wire can usually always be found at the trunk release switch.
When using a bypass module with 2-Way communication most of these wires do not need to be connected, in 1-Way communication some wires may be connected. Please see installation guide of bypass module for more information. Solace is both 2-Way and 1-Way Data Compatible for both Fortin and iDatalink bypass modules.
