how are you sure of that ? i bet its just a fuse.. your alarm isnt even hooked up to your domelights.. and the alarm module is located under the carpet on the driver side, inside your trunk. everything you just said, sounds like you been misinformed to the 2nd power haha

According to my '99 service manual, there is a Multifuction Alarm Module that deals with various warnings (like key in ignition sound, seat belt sound, etc.) and it does integrate with the dome lights somehow, but I don't have the manual with me at the moment. It doesn't have anything to do with the theft system or any other type of normal alarm you'd expect. If my memory serves me (it often doesn't), the manual says it's located under the dash (glove compartment) on the passenger side. If nobody else has better knowledge, I'll take a look at the manual after I get home and post some update. I think it's on some fused circuit and if the dome lights work, it's getting power. I won't say anything more (like, keep guessing) until I can verify it. - Mark

Just checked the manual. It says the module is on the "right front of the passenger compartment." In the picture it looks like a rectangular piece, maybe 6" by 8" , with a big connector on one end and a smaller one on the side, bolted to the cowling next to or in front of where the glove compartment is on the passenger side. You have to remove the insulator panel from under the dash before you can reach it. It apparently deals with all the audible warnings (probably has the speaker in it) and dimming of the interior lights. Three different fuses feed into it: 1.ALARM, 2. INT LAMP, 3. INST LPS.

take your top dash pad off and then pull the fuse for your airbags. then pull your passenger air bag out. you will find it there. easy as pie to get to. but i didnt know it had anything to do with the alarm???
