70 corvette anti-theft problem
I finally decided to try and get my factory installed anti-theft alarm to work. Have two questions first one is when you have alarm set and open door or hood the alarm blasts on and off, but if you just close door or hood the alarm stops is this the way it's suppose to work? After reading several other post it was my understanding that once the alarm goes off the only way to stop it was with key or until battery went dead. Does any body have a 70 with alarm and how does it work? 2nd question is the passenger side door alarm works and so does the hood alarm, but driver side doesn't. You would think it was the door ajar switch, but the door ajar light works the way it is suppose to. From reading other post some people say they have three wires going to door ajar/alarm switch but mine only has the light blue and black wire same as on passenger door that alarm works on. I can't figure out why driver side door alarm won't trigger the alarm when it lights up the door ajar light. Anybody have any idea's. thank in advance.

As said above the alarm should not shut off when you close the door.
On the switch that sets off the alarm in your case its not the door ajar at the rear end of the door its the switch closest to the door hinge.
Your door ajar switch is just a door ajar switch not alarm switch.

Thanks for the info, you guys were right, it was the courtsey light switch on driver side that was working the courtsey light but not the alarm system not the door ajar switch. Replaced switch and all alarms work know, but still have the problem with siren stops sounding when you just close the door or hood. Do you think it might be the relay in the jack compartment that's not keeping the siren sounding?
