Derek Uzzell Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Welcome to the Out&AboutLive forums. I can’t assist with your alarm installation, but advice on obtaining a downloadable workshop-manual file for a Ducato X250 is offered here http://forums.motorhomefacts.com/149-fiat-ducato/105472-fiat-ducato-x250-workshop-manual.html There’s a fair chance that an X290’s indicator/flasher and door-contact wiring is the same as an X250’s, so the manual for the earlier model might help you.

Guest Peter James Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Welcome to the forum barbelcatcher. The standard door switches only tell you when the door is open. So I fitted my own to the door handles so the alarm goes off when the handle is pulled - BEFORE the thief has forced the door open. Would be very interested to see photos of the conversion as you go along PS as for connecting to the indicator lights I just wired into a convenient wire going to the light fitting.
