2011 hyundai, viper 5101 wiring

I had glanced at the install .pdf and its reads blue: (+)Lock (-)Unlock Output    green:  (-)Lock (+)Unlock Output. I disregarded the polarity and wired blue to lock, green to unlock for some reason, only to find the buttons doing the opposite of there function, thats all

the unit has flip flop polarity locks. reverse the wires, put a diode inline and you should be fine.Ted

why would the locks need a diode inline? I have not done so on the 3 vehicles Ive put a 5101 into

Sorry I forgot the 5101 has flip flop locks diodes are to keep only the ground pulse from getting to the truck Did you finish the install ?If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

So the Sante Fe needs a diode to the yellow/black and to each lock/unlock wire? And perhaps you could explain flip flop locks for me 

By connecting them Blue as unlock and Green as lock they are (-) pulse. But by flip flopping them (green as unlock; blue as lock) they become (+) pulse.Kenny

they "become"?  They change in terms or what the viper sends out for a pulse?

in terms of*

they don't really change per say. But if you have it hooked up as negative locks (blue to unlock; green to lock) when you send an unlock signal it will send a (-) pulse to the blue wire and a (+) pulse to the green wire. And visa versa. On some vehicles thats not a big deal as the non-used wire will have a + resting signal anyways. However on some cars it can create an issue... which is why its better to use diodes.Kenny
