    Easy enough to do. Just run the wire from the alarm back into the cab, connect to a switch, then back down to the alarm. That way you can shut off the alarm and still have backup lights.

    Stay far away from the new Freightliner daycabs. If you open the door to watch the trailer as you back up, it starts blowing the horn, making you quite the backing spectacle.
