02 Pontiac Grand Prix, Viper 5704

Ok cool. I understand that a lot more clearly lol. I will follow that and hopefully will have no more issues. Kept getting "remote start error " so I was getting pretty agitated lol.

Hey guys so my car ended up sitting for a long while and needed more repairs so the alarm took a back seat since money was tight. So anyways finally got some nice weather to work in the driveway and now I'm finishing the project finally. Few questions for you guys. On my xk05 bypass there's a wire called ground when running input and its supposed to connect to the viper ground when running output I would think but I looked at the list of wires I have coming from the viper 5704 alarm and don't see a wire that fits that description either that or I'm lost. If you haven't forgotten I really don't know too much about this stuff so I'm trying to teach myself so bear with me even though this has been quite a long forum thread I understand. I've definitely been learning a lot but there's still some gray areas. Also there's a neutral safety switch wire coming off of the alarm and I look some of that up and it looks like I can just put it to a chassis ground because my car is an automatic correct?

XK05 Ground When Running to Viper Dark Blue (-) 200 mA Status Output. Neutral Safety Switch wire to chassis ground if Auto Trans. Verify that G.P. won't crank when gear shift is NOT in Park or Neutral. Soldering is fun!

Oh cool thats what I thought so I'm getting better at this stuff :D

OK I tried multiple times and me keep getting 8 flashes from the system. Also the viper isn't in manual transmission mode. I had 7 flashes at first now 8 :(

I have it hooked up to the same wire for the system chassis ground. So I know that ground works.

Even though my car is an automatic do I still need the neutral safety switch plugged in and on? Cause I'm looking over everything and I never bothered to plug mine in because my car is an automatic there for I didn't think I needed it. The manual said it must be plugged in and in the on position so could that be why I'm still getting 8 flashes?

Yes, the Neutral Safety Switch must be plugged in and set to ON, even for Auto Trans vehicles.Soldering is fun!

Okay I'm not getting any more error codes with the remote start when I tell it to remote start it tries to turn on but it doesn't turn over the vehicle I think it's because I have to program it now that I've got everything hooked up correctly so lets all have a laugh about this cause I'm pretty ditzy I guess lmao. This is a fitting video so have a laugh kreg :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I03UmJbK0lA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Do I qualify for the super noob of the year lol? I definitely deserve it haha. And once again you guys are the best and so helpful so many thanks :) I'll update the thread if I need more assistance.
