I'm ordering a Viper 791XV, and I've figured out wiring for everything except one thing. When I unlock my doors, lights come on under the side view mirrors. I didn't see anything about this in the wiring diagrams or is it just tied into the lock triggers?

Thanks for the help.

Its typically tied in to the factory disarm wire. So when you pulse that wire it should hit your lights for you

I was reading through the installation manual for the 791 xv and it says it will trigger your defrost for you.

Does anyone know what wire this is on a 2001 explorer sport?

Thanks again for the help.

Look for a dark blue/orange behind the switch. It requires a negative trigger. No info on if it's latched, or pulsed, so test it.

It should be pulse according to the diagram , the wire runs to theGEM module then the module activates the defroster relay. But as KarTuneMan sais test to find out. Also the pulse or constant depened if it is an early or late model , but the wire is the same color. (darkblue/orange)

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.

How do I test to determine whether it's pulsed or constant?

Also, looking through the installation manual, I didn't see which wire should be used for the defrost.

Okay, I'm mapping out all of my connections, and came across one confusion.

The wire that connects to the accessory wire in my ignition harness is supposed to connect to the wire that powers the climate control in the car.

The wiring diagram for my 2001 explorer sport shows Brown (x2) for the acc wire and then a 2nd acc wire is BLACK/ green.

Installation manual says some cars will ahve separate wires for the blower motor and ac compressor, in this case I'll need a relay to power the 2nd acc wire.

How do I figure out which of the three wires the are labeled accessory in my vehicle need to be tied to the alarms accessory output?

Thanks for the help.

All of the info I could find shows 2 ign 1 accs. You only need the second accs. for doing the windows, etc. (not really needed)

I was reading through the installation manual for the 791 xv and it says it will trigger your defrost for you.

Keep reading.....you'll find it!

Thanks for all your help. I found which wire it was after rereading, I must have overlooked it. How do I determine whether it needs to be pulsed or latched?
