02 Pontiac Grand Prix, Viper 5704

only need to extend the wires like 3 feet I should be fine right? probably a little bit less than that but that should be no problem right?

no problems

does anybody know what the light flash polarity would be for my car I haven't been able to find that. I just need to know where to put the fuse thats in the brain of the alarm.

Look in the vehicle wiring section here before posting.

Did you check your wiring with a DMM. Do you know how to tell if it is a Positive trigger with your Meter? You are checking the wires before making the connection? Tell us what the DMM did when you checked the wire... Or look at your tech sheet and see what symbol it gives you, then Test anyway to be sure its correct. Now would probably be a good time to learn these basic fundamentals. Will help on next Install.M.E.C.P & First-Class

Go slow and drink lots of water...Procrastinators' Unite...Tomorrow!

Do I test using the wires on my headlight harness? That's what I would think to do. Or can I use the wires on my blinkers? They also flash when I lock the car. Hook the black to the ground on the car and the red to 1 of the wires and look for a spike in the voltage when the lights flash? I'd also look for a +/- sign next to the jumping numbers right? Then I'd know which one it is?

No, you want to test the actual wire you will be connecting the Viper to.

To locate the wire for the parking lights that the Viper connects to, first obtain several

wiring guides.  Howard suggested the listing for your car in this sites "Vehicle Wiring" area. https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~7175  You should also go to the Bulldog site ( http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp ) and the Ready Remote site ( http://www.readyremote.com/main.asp ) to download and print their info.  For your vehicle, all three have consistant info as follows :

PARKING LIGHTS ( + )   BROWN (+)    @ HEADLIGHT SWITCH

 This gives you all you need to locate & verify the correct wire and set the Viper fuse/jumperproperly.  At the back of the vehicles Hweadlight switch is a connector with several wires.  Atleat one of the them is Brown ( prehaps only one of them is Brown ).  Set your Digital MultiMeter to 20V DC, connect the Black lead to a good chassis ground and the Red lead to the suspect Brownwire using the "bed-of-nails" test lead.  When you turn the Headlight switch to the parking lightspostion the DMM should read +12v.  You now have located and verified the correcrt wire that youwill use during the install.

Soldering is fun!

K, don't you hate some keyboards, Hweadlight switch? My favourite is ANSQWER I think wqe should either learn to ytpe or slow down! And no I left the above as it would be before edits.

   Somehow I missed that typo and I even run Speckie!   Oh, the shame of it...   Soldering is fun!

Before you guys say anything I'm not done with my install, so don't give me any crap about that. I work a lot so I have done what I can here and there just connecting the wires that won't disable my car :-P I'm very close to being done though so that's a good thing. I have one question about the bypass module. The little wires coming from the ignition is where my bypass module wires get soldered? Correct? It doesn't seem logical that any would go to my thick ignition wires but I just wanted to ask.
