parking lights viper 5101/omega chdl4 p

moonliter,

I have a question. Regarding multiplexed wires. Do I risk damaging the BCM if an accessory, such as the parking lights, are on and then ground is applied through second resistor? Basically I think it would be just as if two resistors were wired in parallel, thus putting out a completely different resistance than what is intended. 

Tech support at Omega said I need to connect the pink/white(parking light output) to the light GREEN/ orange at the headlight switch which is in total contradiction to the installation instructions the interface came with. However, it makes more sense logically. My concern, however, is as stated above. What if I have the parking lights on, and then I unlock the doors causing the brain of the remote start unit to pulse the parkiing lights.

Just for the record, I do not plan on wiring the parking light though the Omega interface. I'm just going to wire the remote car starter directly into the parking lights utilizing a resistor according to the directions in the installation manual. I would just like to know about the mulitplex wires for future knowledge.

Thanks

Okay. Just for entertainment, I removed the pink/white wire(parking light output from the CHDL4-PK) from the light GREEN/ orange wire at pin 9 of the BCM C2 connector. I then connected it to the light GREEN/ orange wire at pin 5 of the same connector(Headlamp MUX).

Guess what? When I lock/unlock the doors, the parking lights & the headlights now flash, so it looks the installation instructions were definitely wrong. Being that the headlighs flash with the parking lights, I think the CHDL4-PK is putting out the wrong resistance value.

Neither the parking lights, nor the headlights work when the vehicle is remote started. At first I thought it was because the polarity fuse wasn't installed in the Viper 5101 brain, but even after I installed it, they still don't work. I think I have it in the positive position. It's plugged in the two pins closest to the center of the brain.

Well, I quickly figured out that the pink/white wire is NOT the parking light output!!! It IS the factory alarm disarm.

If I decide to to wire up the parking lights, it will DEFINITLEY be without the CHDL4-PK interface. Furthermore, it appears as if Omega's tech support doesn't know how these interfaces work, let alone which wires go where.

I don't think I'll be purchasing another Omega product anytime soon.
