Default a few electrical questions

ok so, I had an alarm installed about a month ago, when they tried to hook up the door trigger to the driver door, the dome light quit working.. then they tried to tap into the right rear door, now that one is not working.. Than the right front. same again stopped working, so i told them to stop and to leave it alone.. I thought maybe they were blowing fuses, or tripping the relays or something.. Now the right side doors when open the dome light sometimes works and sometimes doesnt, and sometimes it just flickers,, Did they break wires? or is there something else going wrong?? Driving me nuts at night.. and of course using the dome switch it sometimes works and sometimes doesnt as well. Before everything worked as it should..

Instead of putting all the issues in one post, i figured i would break them up, so its easier to follow.

issues 2

left rear window sometimes works and sometimes doesn't thinking maybe its in the door plug. If this a common issue for this gen?

if i top off the gas tank, after about 20 miles the fuel needle drops to empty and the low fuel light kicks on.. once i drive about 60-80 miles and turn the truck off. when its restarted the fuel needle works again.. Any ideas.. only happens about every 4th or 5th fill up.

I believe the door switch has a green LED that indicates it has power. See if it's lit or not when that window doesn't work.

I'd check and clean the connections at the sender and make sure any grounds are clean and intact.

Depending on your bypass module...

my truck had a black key. I went to dodge trying to program a key fob prior to buying the alarm.. Dodge told me i did not have anything for the keyless entry.

The alarm i purchased was a omega with carlink gps. Which is hooked to my phone..
