Viper Alarm Install - Need some pointers

[Slowcrewcab]

Alot of the door locks had to have a relay added to them I I remember right. And on the starting does it start then die or almost starts while cranking?

Alot of the door locks had to have a relay added to them I I remember right. And on the starting does it start then die or almost starts while cranking?

Hard to tell the difference here. It fires like it is going to run (like if I was using the key, I would let off of it) but then doesn't actually run. That is when I set it to no engine checking, and it is just running off a programmed crank time.

Using the Tach signal, it will fire the same way, not run, but keep cranking until I shut it back off. I'm thinking that it is something to do with the factory security or something like that. If I use the key, it fires right up, no problems.


Anyway, I talked to a friend of mine, and he knows a guy that works at a different audio/alarm shop here in town. I called and talked to him, and he is double checking my wiring for me...(basically for free)
I should get it back from him in good shape, and I'll post what the problem was, and how he fixed it.

I believe on a viper system it should be able to trigger your door looks straight out of the brain of the alarm. AS far as the truck Almost starting it is your VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) kicking in because it is not seeing the electrical resistance of the key cylinder being turned with a key in it and it is shutting off the fuel pump.

Here is how to disable that.



AS far as the door locks what wires are you tapping into and where are they located?

Ok, I got everything sorted out.

The guy that fixed me up said that I had everything right, I just hadn't bypassed the VATS (as mentioned above) and the door locks were trying to trigger on a negative charge instead of a positive one. He swapped out my bypass module for one that was set up with the right door lock configuration. Not sure what kind it is, but apparently the other bypass module that I picked up was less specific to my truck year and model, and to make it work I would have had to run a pair of relays (one for each door).

Thanks again to those who helped out, glad to be done with it.

Now I'm going to start shopping for a new audio setup!
