Hi all

I have a 1998 chevy cavalier z24 with remote keyless entry and I am going to install a viper 5900,  I have just two questions, can I hook into the lock and unlock wires and not use a relay? And the trunk I gather so far I do need a relay just not sure how to hook it up,  I did get a wire diagram from this site and the install guide shows to hook up the red and white wire (viper) to 85 and12v constant to 86 the part I don't understand is in the book they say to hook the switched trunk release wire to 30 and  (+)12v if (+) switched or(-) ground if (-) to 87 is this right? And if so how do I hook it up; do I cut the trunk wire and connect it 30 and the other side of the trunk wire to 87? the trunk wire is + according the the diagram.

Thanks!!

Yes. That vehicle with K/E is already relay driven. It is a +12v activation circuit.

POWER LOCK LIGHT BLUE (Type A) IN EITHER KICK PANEL  
 POWER UNLOCK WHITE (Type A) IN EITHER KICK PANEL

  • Cut the wire between the switch and solenoid. Preferably a few inches after the switch.
  • The switch side of the wire connects to terminal #87a
  • The solenoid side of the wire connects to #30.
  • Terminal #86 and #87 go to a fused 12v source. This can be obtained from the other side of the switch.
  • Terminal #85 connects to the Viper 5900's RED / WHITE wire.

This does not take into consideration using a relay, with coil diode-isolation. You will need to face the band away from the RED / WHITE wire. You will also need a PassLock type by-pass.

I would charge ~$50 above, for parts and labor, not including the by-pass.

Sorry to sound so dumb,  so i can just splice into the door lock wires?  and as far as the trunk i dont have a switch in the car to pop the trunk just  the stock key fob remote so does that mean i have to run a wire's to the trunk? and why do i need to power up two #86 and #87?

Thanks!!

Regarding my previous post on colors? Yes.

 TRUNK RELEASE BLACK/ WHITE (+)@ FACTORY KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE

No. The above information explains.

They provide power for the coil and the solenoid.

To revise:

  • Cut the wire between the K/E module and solenoid.
  • The K/E side of the wire connects to terminal #87a
  • The solenoid side of the wire connects to #30.
  • Terminal #86 and #87 go to a fused(~5-7.5 amps) +12v source.
  • Terminal #85 connects to the Viper 5900's RED / WHITE wire.
  • If you decide to splice instead of cut, insulate #87a.

You must still take into consideration, if using a relay, with coil diode-isolation.

I am so sorry but can you tell me where the FACTORY KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE is?

Thank you !!!

Cant you just splice #30 into the trunks (+) wire and not hook up #87A that way you wouldnt have to cut the trunk wire and you could

still use your factory key fob trunk release?

Thanks

IMO, isolating the circuit is a more professional approach, but either way the factory key FOB will still work.

Hi All

I have been looking for the tach wire for a while is there anyone that can help me find it?

I have keyless entry on this car do i have to tap the driver or the pass side wires for the door looks?

As far as the trunk positive wire is the keyless module in the driver kick or the trunk?

Been looking in the trunk no luck the drivers kick has a mudule though is this it?

Thanks!!

I do believe the coil is the on the lower right front of the block

a bit of a pick to get at.
