Default Alarm guru's come in. how to reset alarm?

Ok i recently installed a Viper 5701 alarm in my car. It was working fine for a little over a month. I forget to hook up the trunk pin wire so i took it all apart and hooked up that wire so the alarm actually goes off if the trunk is opened. Now, when i lock my car my alarm goes off about 30 seconds after locking it, no matter where i am. i silence the alarm and keep it armed and it doesnt go off again.

i checked the led and it says that the alarm was triggered by the shock sensor(blinks 2 times, zone 2). although i didnt move or re-wire anything but the trunk wire when i took everything apart. so i took it apart today and checked all the wires and moved the control module to a different spot and put everything back together. it still does it... any suggestions? btw i never hooked up another fuse to the 12V constant wire besides the 15A one thats already there...would that make a difference? just doesnt make any sense to me considering i didnt change anything. any way i can completely reset the alarm all together?

Question

Does you interior light stay on after you lock the car, maybe about 30
seconds?

Lightbulb

Check you manual and see what it says about "Dome light supervision".
Because it sure sounds like it has something to do with it.

Default

This is what it says: H1/9 BLACK/WHITE (-) 200 mA dome light supervision output
Connect this wire to the optional dome light supervision relay as shown below:
Important! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected
directly to the dome light circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw
of one or more light bulbs.

I have it hooked up to my door trigger right now. its what an online wiring diagram said to do
