04 Ram Diesel remote start

I'll be doing one in a week or so for a friend after he gets another key made and gets a window module ordered. I found most of the info by searching the forums, but did not find anything about the wait to start light except for "see DirectFax document 1091."  Anyone have this they can post up?        Thanks in advance for your help

If you see that document #, it means that the wait-to-start wire is not readily available. Probably, the truck's underhood engine computer is sending a computer-data signal to the instrument cluster to turn the wait-to-start light on or off......there is no 12-volt wire you can simply tap into. That document simply instructs you to purchase a pulse timer, adjust it for a certain amount of time, and connect its output to the remote starter's wait-to-start input. Instead, I would choose a remote starter with this feature already built in-------you would just go into the programming menu, set the unit to wait an extra 10 seconds or so before cranking the starter, and be done with it. DEI is finally introducing this feature, although Audiovox has had it for years. There may be some other brands that have it as well.

thanks for the info guys. anyone know if the viper 791xv has this timer feature built in?

From what I read in the installation manual under wiring the diesel wait-to-start circuit, I don't believe so...

Good luck,

no the 791 doesn't. you'll have to use a pulse timer relay on the wait to start input on the brain to allown the glow plugs to heat up
