I've just about completed my stealth install of this top of the line viper alarm, but I cannot figure out how to get the parking lights to flash when arming, disarming, or when the alarm is going off. I have tapped into the red/black parking light wire in the front kick panel and the rear quarter panel but still nothing. I've even used a relay like so:

But still I am getting nothing. When I tested the signal wire for the parking lights, I get no voltage at all, even when arming/disarming. However, when I have it hooked up to the relay, I get constant 12v to the signal wire coming from the brain. I don't think that is how it is supposed to be and probably not good for it?

There is also a parking light isolation wire coming from the brain, but the stealth install directions don't say anything about it for the light flash. Anyways, I gave it a try and still no luck. But when I tested that wire during arming/disarming (on the relay) I saw that the voltage dropped as the brain clicked (which is when the lights should flash). Could I need to combine these wires somehow? All help is greatly appreciated as I want to wrap this up tonight! Thanks!

 

did you install the parking light fuse inside the brain of the alarm?

 

by the way, that relay is not required, at all.

 

F. there is a fuse? I'll brb. Thanks, btw

 

it's inside the alarm, pull off the access panel

 

WOOT. Awesome, thanks a million Cobb. I knew what you were talking about as soon as you said fuse because I remember opening that up when I first got the alarm in the mail a month ago to see what was loose, but obviously I forgot about it. Thanks so much, I was about to go to bed, and now I can start putting everything back together!!
