Whenever I start up the remote start it blows one of the fuses on the power wire. (30a). I have both of the power wires connected directly to the battery. Is that my issue? Thanks. (First remote start I've done)

No, the power wire connection is not the issue, you've connected one of the 4 heavy wire outputs to something that is grounded. One of the fuses supplies two of the outputs, and the power to the module. The other fuse is for the other two outputs. It's possible to figure this out with a meter, but current DEI installation guides no longer tell you enough to figure it out without testing.
Begin with the make, model and year of the car your installing it into please.

I didn't install the the hood pin Switch to the gray wire, would that cause this? Is the hood pin switch necessary?

While the Hood Pin is not mandatory and it's non-use will not cause any problems ( including the one you are now experiencing ),
it is a nice safety feature and highly recommended.
Did you wire the truck as a Type 3c or a Type 4 ( DB-ALL2 install guide )? ------------- Soldering is fun!

I wired it with type 4. How exactly should I wire the parking lights? Change the jumper to negative then the negative parking light wire? White wire on 4205v to WHITE/ light green wire (-) parking light wire? Thanks

If you want to use the (-) Parking Light wire, you will need a relay and a 1130 ohm resistor. Here is the wiring :
Relay Pin 86 to Viper White Parking Light Output ( with jumper in the + position )
Relay Pin 85 to chassis ground
Relay Pin 87 to chassis ground through 1130 ohm resistor
Relay Pin 30 to WHITE/ lt. green (-) @ headlight switch or cluster, small gray plug, pin 5
Relay Pin 87a not used - insulate

Perfect thanks. Any idea to why the fuse is blowing on one of the power wires?

No. Yours is a pretty straight forward install with no big power draws. Perhaps if you listed all the connections we might see something.

What do I need to change then? On the dball2 instructions it said + start pin on the ignition switch.

do you have an ignition harness thats 5 or 8pin? some have a negative starter wire, some have positive. disconnect the start wire and see if the fuses stop popping.

It's 6 pin. So if it's a negative starter wire Should I follow the directions of type 3c on the dball2 install. Those directions don't have me connecting anything to that wire
Posted By: kowen14

I have a printout of my wiring and it does say PURPLE / brown wire polarity -180ohms ignition harness (second starter)...since it is negative what do you recommend
Posted By: tedmond
Date Posted: January 19, 2015 at 9:56 AM
double check to see if there is a wire in pin position 4. if there is one follow type 4, if not type 3C.
the negative starter will be controlled by the dball2

Just went and re-checked. It's an 8 pin harness

Date Posted: January 19, 2015 at 1:00 PM
you will use both the 6pin and 8pin depending on your vehicle setup. like i said check to see if there is a wire in pin 4. I'm sure its type 3c

Thanks so much. I ended up going with 3c and its works perfect. I never would of figured out that starter wire!

The only thing I can't get to work is the unlock on the viper remote. Is there a setting that I didn't do?

did you reprogram the bypass module after changing the install type?
