Ok I am very confused. I installed a viper alarm remote start. When I go and remote start everything works fine. But when I start it with key no light's, wipers or heat work. I noticed I am not getting a power to the accesory wire when I turn the key, so I am thinking the remote start is throwing power to that wire that's why it only works while remote starting.its a 1999 audi a6.

Did you check all fuses ? In all boxes ? Not just visually but with a meter

Suggestion - rotate fuses.

Meters don't detect the unlikely events of hairline-fractured fuses (which only open when loaded).

Couldn't be more true. I once metered an ignition fuse to be good while a visual inspection revealed it was actually blown, caused me a lot of stress in the beginning thinking it was something else.

Two thoughts - you either blew a fuse or you broke a wire. How did you connect the wires in the vehicle?
