Now, if a car door gets opened, the dome light comes on, energizing the relay, and causing your car horn to honk, and will continue to honk till the door are closed.

Thats why if you open a hatch,pass side,or dr. side door all the lights work. Essentially if you ground any of the switches all lights go on. So you can tap into the dome circuit anywhere to make this cheap alarm function. Actually,at least in gm products, all the dome/courtesy lights are linked on the ground side.

You can tap in pretty much at any light wether under the dash or the dome above. At the dome light switch in the jamb.

Too bad CUCV's don't have a dome light. The only suggestion I would have would be to trade the toggle switch for a keyed switch so someone who sees you activate it can't deactivate it as easily, but that would make it more of a pain to activate/deactivate.
