The only additional feature I would like to wire into my Viper 5101 is the rear defogger. I would like to wire it up as an AUX 1 output  since I only want it to come on when I want it to.

By looking at the factory wiring diagram, it appears as if there is a violet/black relay control wire @ pin 6 of the A/C - heater control. When the rear defogger button is press, the violet/black wire it put to ground momentarily, this triggering the defogger relay. I think if I pulse this wire with the AUX 1 output the rear defogger will function as intented.

Can anybody confirm this?

To activate the rear defrost you will also need to power the second acc. (blk/wht)

Why not just hook it up to the blue/white, so it ONLY goes on whenever the temperature is less than 32 degrees F? That way you don't have to keep pressing buttons.

Aready, done. :D

"Why not just hook it up to the blue/white, so it ONLY goes on whenever the temperature is less than 32 degrees F? That way you don't have to keep pressing buttons."

I didn't realize that when you program the brain to use the blue/white wire as a defogger it would only come on if it's below 32*. Good to know.

With that said though, just because it's below 32* doesn't necessarily mean the rear defogger is needed. In fact, during the winter here its below 32* most of the time.

Thanks for the input!

Just in case anyone ever references this post, it works just as stated above. Pulsing the violet/black wire to ground momentarily activates the rear defogger circuit, and then pulsing it a seond time deactivate the circiut.
