Hi,
i'm a new member and i have recently installed a Viper 791 XV car alarm on my 97' mitsubishi eclipse. The viper alarm totally kicks @ss!!! Everything is perfect, but i am running into these 2 problems:
1- OEM factory alarm on the 97 eclipse needs to be disabled. I can't seem to locate the disable OEM alarm wire.
2- With the Viper 791 XV Power door locks unlock but do not LOCK.
3- *not really a problem, but when the remote (791 XV) starts the car... is the car suppose to blink it's parking lights during the remote start run?
Please if anyone can be of help, it is much appreciated.
Thanks,

green with white in the drivers door harness should disarm the alarm. as far as locks go are you sure you ahve the correct wire?

Not sure on Viper 791, but the RS units we sell the Parking lites Blink first for Start then remain on for the running duration
| OEM Alarm Disarm | GREEN / WHITE | (-) DRIVER KICK PANEL |
| Power Lock | BROWN / SILVER DOTS | AT RELAYS BEHIND PASSENGER |
| Power Unlock | BROWN / WHITE/ SILV DOTS | SIDE OF CONSOLE ** |
** Door Lock Control Unit Located In Passenger Kick Panel. Relays Located In Console Accessed By Removing 2 Screws. Then Removing Entire Passenger Side Console Panel.
With OEM Keyless There Are 2 Unlock Wires Both Are BRN/WHT And Should Be In Driver Kick Panel Must Diode Isolate These Two Wires.
Negative Pulse Door Locks

and the 791 has a feature built in it to either keep lights steady or blink. comes from factory set to blink.
