The beep means that there's a fault that's preventing the car from being secured. The beep plus your interior lights staying on suggests that one of the door switches - or the wiring for one of the door switches - has been compromised and needs to be fixed.

OK guys the installer came. We realized it was the driver door as the window didn't drop or go up that small amount when you open close.

That switch was not plugged in. So we plugged it in thinking that solved the problem..but not. SAME EXACT problem.

We took out the passenger door and saw that it was all ok.

We went to driver door and it all seems to be connected.

So the problem is the car thinks the door is always open that's why the lights don't go off and it makes that beep.

So what else can it be!!? My installer thinks its the whole "learn window" process. I googled and tried that (Windows down 10 sec...window up hold 10 sec) but no.

I am thinking its a microswitch.

FYI the alarm ground in the double din is not effected. Its not grounded.

At this point im frustrated and stumped. If you guys think its the whole learn process can you please let me know the exact window learn directions.

Or if you think its the micoswitch..which one can it be!? From what im reading there are 3? My installer is willing to install them if I can bring them.

Otherwise this will have to go to a indy and I know it might be expensive!

Take it to the indy who knows what he is doing, and make your installer pay. He screwed it up, right?

Roll the driver window all the way up. Hold the "Up" button down for 10 seconds. Repeat for the passenger side.

Unfortunately, resetting the window stops is not going to fix the wiring problem your stereo installer has caused.

Unsolicited advice: Don't let your "installer" perform any more work on your car, since he/she does not appear to know what he/she is doing.
