viper 571xv 2000 explorer

Hey guys,

Having a remote start issue,

I have a viper 571xv hooked up to a 2000 explorer,

The remote starter isnt.....sending the signal to start.  I hit the remote start button and nothing happens.

I tried doing the diagnostic thing with the LED on the 571 brain, and its not giving me any blinks to tell me why its not engaging.

I have all wires hooked up to where I think they go, but maybe i need to hook up the factory disarm wires as I didnt hook those up yet?  

I thought I would get a crank or some lights or somethin, but nothing happens. 

I have the tach at PCM 48, and the brain learned it, LED lit up constant.  

Well, I took my seat out, and Im noticing my AIRBAG light is blinking a 3 - 6 pattern.  But I think this light is on because I took out my seat. 

Okay, Im gonna try hooking up ALL REDS from the Viper and see if that works. 

I have 4 yellows coming from the Ignition Harness, and I think they are all 12v.

Are all Yellows the same on the explorer?  

Are all reds on viper 571xv  for power IN?   I think they are, but I cant understand why there is 3 Power In's on the Vipe relay satellite thingr. 

As far as relays, I do not know where to install them for this Explorer, or what wires to attach them to make it work. 

As far as I know, the only relay I would "need"  is to install one for starter kill, wich I dont want to do.  

I will try to ground that BLACK/ white neutral safety wire. 

Thanks. 

I see Neutral safety wire is RED / blue but no lacation of this wire......can I use the RED / blue off the ign harness? 

Ill check for voltage in gear  tomorow, but I thought maybe someone would know, thanks......

OKAY EXCELLENT!  woot that neutral safety wire was preventing the remote start from working......thanks twelvolts!  

got it to start and work!  But I grounded that BLACK/ white wire.

Could someone please tell me where that RED / blue neutral wire is on a 2000 explorer? 

Thanks again guys, and have a great weekend!

Dang I cant find the EDIT button sorry.....

But, I've noticed to remote-start this 571xv unit, I have to hit remote start button TWICE? Is this normal?

On my compustar I hit that button II once......

Is that normal?    I press once and nothing, but I press it twice and she starts to jiggle and shake lol. 

Thanks for the great reply.

I bought the 571 brand new, had the N switch in the box. Tried wiring it with the N switch to the RED / Blue ig harness, didn't work. It  wanted to start for 1/2 a sec, then died.   Voltmetered that same wire before I tried it, seemed like it would work.  Blue/red and in gear, was dropping the volts to 0, in park or n went back up, but, not enough ground I guess.  

So I grounded the BLACK/ white off the 571, worked perfectly. Haven't tried it in gear yet, but I will see if it will start, highly doubtable though, cause just like you said, the dei manual said also GM vehicles are like that.

I really like the 2 press for R-Start now, yep, again like you said, it helps for accidental button presses, I like that.

And that parking light flash when R started, I hated that.  Option 2-4, had to switch it to constant.  But now I think about it its kinda a nice signal to let you know your vehicle is running.  Just seemed like it was stressing that parking light relay with all that clicking.  

I spread the power out between 2 of the 4 Yellows in the Ig Harness.  I wanted to chase down what amp those yellows I used were, but y'know........it works. 

All finalized, right out of the box, no extras, or relays needed, well besides a 25$ 555 PATS bypass thingie, I got one of those keyless ones, once i put that 'lil sensor in the right spot for that PATS key, (top of the cylinder worked good for me)  she started right up.  You shouldve seen my cheeser grin when I heard that starter stop cranking.  I bet you pro's lost that little smile after the job is done over time eh, but I'm sure alot of the work you guys do are satisfying.

All done with alot of help from this website.  Thanks for keeping this place up n' running.
