viper 5704 alarm 1st alarm attempt

Sorry Howie, i was asking if the OP followed your diagram. Which is correct. To master and control electricity is perfection. *evil laugh*

Definitely not from his confused answer. I love it when these newbies think everything is easy and why should they pay pros "to do a job they can do for themselves for nothing on a Sunday morning". Yes that's an attempt at irony.

BTW, no offence to

Start again, posted before I finished... No offence meant to YOU, I knew you understood, I misread your post.

Here are my results: (The pushbutton switch in the glove) - there are 2 wires, a black wire and brown wire. Neither wires have power with the key in the off position. When the key is in the acc position, the brown wire has 12v power constantly applied to it. When the button is pushed, the black wire temporary applies 12v power to the switch. Yes, 86 and 87 on the relay are connected and the relay is operating when the aux button is pressed on the remote Here is how I have it hooked up: 1. 87 to 12v constant (from fuse block) 2. 86 to 12v constant (from fuse block) 3. 87a to blue wire (-) on factory harness (trunk) 4. 85 to H2/5 (RED / white) wire (on alarm) With hookup that i have now, once the aux is button is pressed, 12v comes out of pin 30 On the relay. Just a recap, so the dark blue wire on the alarm (h2/19) trunk trigger wire should not be used, correct?Wiseman118

Can't you read? Why 87a to blue wire in trunk? The black wire at the switch. Cut it and switch side to 87a, trunk side to 30. Enough already.

Maybe an explanation as to what the purpose of the relay is? Might as well You are cutting the output wire of the factory switch, and sending 12v down the trunk motor side only. The switch may rest at ground, and could cause a short if the wire at the switch was not cut. Again you are using the trunk/aux negative out from the viper brain (red white) to switch the relay. Pins 87, 87a and 30 are what will separate open the CUT trunk release wire at the switch and send 12v to the trunk release motor side only. Let me reiterate for the last time before this thread goes downhill, and I am repeating what Howie has said several times. Forget about the trunk pin wire in this scenario. It has nothing to do with popping the trunk via the remote control. Get this fixed THEN we can help you fix that issue if you wish.To master and control electricity is perfection. *evil laugh*

Yes at the switch you cut the black wire. I would have assumed switch end and trunk end were self explanatory but switch end = towards the switch, trunk end = towards the trunk or rear of vehicle. If you're referring to the 5704 blue wire at H2/19 yet once more? This is the ALARM trigger feed from the trunklight (trunk switch to light absolutely nothing to do with trunk release. Look at my last diagram, it shows you ecverything.

Ok, thanks I believe I got it. I see what I have done wrong. I did not cut the trunk wire, I just spliced / tapped into it. I also need to remove the wire tap that i have on 87a from the light blue wire (trunk release) on the car harness (per 12v.com wiring sheet) and connect 87a directly to the trunk switch per your attached diagram. (This is where I guess I went wrong with following the 12v.com wiring vehicle diagram) I will correct it when i get home this afternoon. P.s. only reason I asked about the h2/19 was just be sure. Sorry for being redundant. Thanks for everyone's help and patienceWiseman118
