I got my viper 79xv installed. i wouldnt say its a professional job, but i paid someone to do it. anyways they did not hook up the remote start on my manual teg(wich i understand). but for some reason my status led blinks when the alarm is not armed? why is this? the book says that once ignition is turned on it will reset. but that doesnt seem to work? anyone know what the problem is? something forget to get hooked up?

 

He probably didn't hook up the igniton input so it's not knowing that the key has been turned on/off.

Hook that up and all will be good.

Either that, or it's in valet mode....

i just looked at it and the valet switch isnt even hooked up. and im lookin at the print out and dont see anything about the ignition on any of the harness's except the two remote start harness's and the heavy gauge key switch interface. im takin back to the place where i got it installed.............. BEST BUY

 

thanks FCM, im goin there after work. if i remember correctly the ignition input connects to the black with yellow ignition wire?

If you look at the ribbon cable, [7 wires] that would run from the main unit to the relay satellite, [probably not installed] you will see a yellow wire, it has to be connected to a "true" ign. source, [if relay satellite is not installed and wired].

It should have been done at the shop. 94

Yes that is correct, the black/yellow ign. harness wire.

 

so i need to cut the yellow one on the ribbon cable and tap it into the ignition if the relay satellite is not hooked up?

 

Or you could just plug the ribbon cable into the relay pack, and connect the heavy gauge pink wire to the igniton wire in the car... Either way will work.
