I recently purchased a Viper 5901 alarm and i will be installing it shortly(this is my first alarm job).Im very good with wires and repairing electronic it's just i never tried to install an alarm before.It will be going into a 1998 Chevy Venture.I've found all the wires needed for the install.I just have two question
will i need a relay for the parking light output from the Viper 5901 to my parking light wire? (the venture have a continuously grounded parking light.So 12 volts it applied to the parking light wire to turn it on.I know the Viper 5901 has a relay for the parking light output but will it be enough to hook up directly to the parking light wire.)
Also i will also like to use the Horn Honk output so when the full alarm is triggered the horn sounds too.The viper puts out a (-)200ma Horn Honk Output.The venture use a negative ground wire to activate the horn.Will i need a relay for the horn output or can i hook it up directly to the horn wire?
Will hooking up both the parking light and horn to the viper cause a problem if no relays are used?
I will appreciate any help i can get.Thanks

You will NOT need relays for these connections. The horn is (-) triggered, and the parking lights are (+), so just set the Viper for + light output.
