Arrow 2 problem and i need help

First one, as u all know they busted my window and got it fixed and so forth.
1THE ALARAM: i sat in the car and i locked the car from the inside and i wanted to see if the alarm works.. So i locked the car with my remote and i opened the passanger door from the inside and the alarm went on great..now i did the same thing with the glove dept and it worked too..NOW I TRIED IT FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE AND IT NEVER WENT ON , WHY IS THAT???

2: WHO ever has the camber bolt, how much degree did u gain? im going out of town to Miami for vacation and once i come back, i want to install the botls..just curious...Again Kmac did not do anything for the front but it did fix my back.

thank u all.

I know my alarm goes off with the driver side cause I accidentally did it the other day.

The only thing that I can think of is: Does the light come on when you open the driver door? I am thinking that maybe the switch that controls the light was either disconnected when they redid the window glass or the switch is somehow stuck in the closed position????

Now, one thing I just learned!! I didnt know that the alarm would go off by opening the glove compartment as well! Thats pretty cool!

By light I meant whatever switch that makes the DOME LIGHT turn on. There has to be some type of switch that senses when the door is open or closed. I am going to look at my door and see if I can find the switch and take a picture.

Ok, I couldnt find my camera right now so I used my BB Bold to take the pics (Blurry). This is the switch I was talking about. Maybe it is stuck in the closed position and will not activate the alarm?? Its worth checking out at least?

Also, I tried the glove compartment opening with the alarm on and it would not activate the alarm! I am not too worried about that though cause I never leave my windows down so they would have to open my doors anyway.

I hope the pic helps out a little..if not I am fresh out of ideas...

Well actually does your cabin light turn on when you open the door? This will let you know if the switch shown in the pic is working properly.

^ My man..thank u .... it worked bump.
as far as the glove it should activate..sit again in the car and lock the car with your remote and wait till it lights up 3 times(signal lights on the cluster) and try to open the glove...
it should go off....
