Hello: I have an older (2007) Viper 160XVL on my wifes car since 2007.Some years back a windshield replacement tech damaged the 4 pin plug that goes to the Venom SST antenna. I'm assuming this is a receiver\antenna that needs power to communicate with the remote and the command module itself. 2 of the wires (blue and red) checked, supply a 5v ref. voltage to the ground (black) wire. That leaves 1 wire (green?) (cut me a little slack cause i'm really color blind!) I know the 2 5vdc wires are for signal control, but I'd wager the receiver needs a 12v supply to run? I have no way of knowing this without a schematic of the receiver and the 160XVL unit itself. Does anyone know the pinout colors of the 4 pin connectors at each end. In addition to that if the remaining wire that needs to carry 12v from the 160XVL itself is not outputting could that be because its output is turned off or could it be fused an the board itself to protect the power supply? The unit responds to the valet and on\off switch left installed by the installer. I fabricated an LED and plug harness to test if the circuit functions and switches on or all from the valet mode and it does thankfully! I'm on the edge of figuring out the rest of the puzzle but without more info on how the circuit works I've pretty much hit a brick wall. And i know better enough to try silly things that just might let the "magic smoke" out. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx and God Bless!
