Hello everyone, I recently bought and installed a Viper 5901. I received help on the instal by Kreg357 (Guy is the bomb!!) and it was all in and good to go as far as the setup of it all. I plugged the unit in and connected the negative (-) battery terminal back up. I got into the truck and started it with the key. IT WENT CRAZY! Everything that was hooked up to the Viper (Horn, lights, Starter, ect) was powered up. I turned the key off and the thing was still running and going crazy. My question is has anyone experienced this or heard of this happening? If so what caused it? Hw can I fix it? Any input is greatly appreciated!

Did you make sure you did not lose the ground connection to the brain?

Well I ran it directly to the battery, so I would imagine thats good enough.

When you figure out what the problem is, please let us know what it was.

Are you installing this in a boat?

Doesn't this unit have to have the fuses placed last?

If that's so we're back to RTFM.

Trust me bro, I did get help. Infact kreg357 migjtbas well have done it for me. I am assuming my ground is faulty. And yes amateurs do make mistakes, buy so do the pros, we're all human man...live and learn.
