Default Any Clifford alarm expects?

(concept 300) Everytime I arm my car about ten secs later it beeps and flashes 4 times.
The manual says its a door ajar and/or the something to do with the 30sec interior light. I've double checked the door switches and the boot/ bonnet and tried loads of different combinations on the interior light.
Help please its driving me mad !

Your alarm may be fused off by the interior lights fuse, so could be something more serious.


Only reason I say that is because I've got battery and alarm issues atm and I have this problem I mentioned above
