Re: Viper starter kill relay(wiring help) (audioroach)
Well..I wired up my alarm today...I had eveyrthing wired up but the ground. When i wired the ground up the siren went off and lights were flashing. I guess the starter kill worked too cause now i cant start my car . I dont have a remote(went swimming with mine )I was gona just hook everything up and ride to a shop and pick one up. I didnt think the alarm would arm when it was wired. So I unhook everything and still have the same problem, car wont start. What do i do now? I checked the fuses and all the ignition wiring is back to normal. What do i do!?!?!? someone please help.

Did you remove the fuse from the red wire? If you did and it still won't start than you probably did blow a fuse (a rather large one a I might add.) It's totally normal for an alarm to go off when you apply power. That's one of the reasons to get a battery backup.

Re: Viper starter kill relay(wiring help) (ME)
I checked every single fuse under the dash and under the hood, nothing was blown. Only blown fuse i found was a 10a fuse that was on one of the viper wires. I disconnected the alarm for now, tomorrow morning im gona try and figure this out. If the alarm was in VRS mode and i disconnected it(and wired the ignition back normal) would the starter still be "killed". If i hook the alarm back up and disarm with the valet switch should that fix it? damn i really wanna fix this. thanks for all your help guys

Re: Viper starter kill relay(wiring help) (GsrSdn)
OK, so you cut the thick black wire with a white stripe and wired one end to green and the other end to black? Then you wired orange-to-orange and yellow-to- yellow? The design of this relay is such that it's fail safe meaning the car should start unless the alarm is armed. Unless you really botch things up the car should start. By killing power to the alarm it REALLY should start.

Re: Viper starter kill relay(wiring help) (ME)
Well...the alarm is disarmed..but the car still wont start. Im stumped all fuses check out ok. Kinda sounds like the engine isnt getting any fuel, but i dont see how that could have been messed up from the alarm. The engine cranks but it just wont kick over. Any ideas of anything else i should check that the alarm wiring could have damaged? Distributor? Fuel pump? starter?..

The starter is cranking so the relay is not the problem. Check the basics, make sure all your plug wires are connected. Next pull one lower rear seat out and listen to make sure the fuel pump is turning on. Did you cut any other wires in the column?

Re: Viper starter kill relay(wiring help) (ME)
Im such a fcking moron, I took the seat off to listen to the pump and it wasnt working, I decided to find the relay for the fuel pump..I had unclipped the harness to get to some wires behind it and i never put it back. I finally noticed it after about the tenth time looking around the fuses so i clipped it back and everything is fine now...thanks for all your help people
