viper 5701 alarm/remote start, 99 legacy

Guess you could change the wiring around a bit to see if the internal Starter1 relay is bad.  You would lose Starter Killand Anit-Grind but might get the remote start function working.  1. Connect H3/2 RED / White to +12V, if it isn't already.2. Disconnect H3/3 and H3/4 from vehicle starter wire.3. Re-join the cut vehicle starter wire.4. Connect H3/7 Pink/White to vehicle starter wire.5. Program Viper for Flex Relay = Starter   ( Menu 3, Item 8, Option 3 )Soldering is fun!

Just a thought, but not sure about NZ vehicles.  Here in the States ( Colonies to Howard ), we didn't see transponder based ignition immobilizer's in Subies until 2007 or so.  Any possibility that your vehicle has one?Soldering is fun!

Wasn't thinking of that K. NZ gets Oz market cars or directly from Japan/ Oz cars would be heavily immobilised, Japanese not. Take your choice!! Daughter's VW of the same age as the Subie was a German build for the Japanese market, low mileage and costing secondhand about 10 times the UK equivalent definitely does have a transponder.

Not that I know of, they only really do Mongoose alarms here. So i'm almost there, got remote start working, the tach wire was reading the Cluster welcome voltage (my rpm needle goes up high and down when I turn the car on) removed that and it engages the starter fine. My last and what seems to be the final problem!, When im driving and Stall the car, or even on 1st start after a few hourse I sometimes loose power to the entire car, eg dash lights go off door lights, everything. The minute I pop the bonnet pin open I get power back to the vehicle, sometimes it holds power but if I shut the bonnet or even a car door it turns everything off again. I stalled the car today on the road and had to get out in traffic and pop the bonnet open then close it then try start the car which killed power again and had to repeat that cycle. It seems intermittent I cant reproduce it all the time.

Thanks for the tach photo on the previous page, got to be better than pulling the dashboard to get at it, especially when the one I'm doing on Monday has a POS carbon fibre applique.

Subaru's always have a nice firewall grommet for any wires going into the engine compartment.     Much easier than pulling the interior apart.Soldering is fun!

Actually 2! I'm using the right hand (driver side here and in NZ) for the siren, passenger side for the dealer fir hood (bonnet) switch. I actually did this car on Wednesday but had nightmares "killing" the original dealer fit alarm passive lock and immobilise. Then the brainwave! The Subies I did for a film crew, they were still in the studio in the back lot so I stripped one down to see what I'd done before.

Got my b4 sussed, put diodes on all the input wires and everything works fine now! finished finally!

You lost me, b4?

Oh Subaru B4 aka legacy/liberty. And I spoke to soon, lost power again everywhere this morning everywhere when I remote started and forgot to put the key in. When I proceeded to put the key in and start it back up again power went out (including to the alarm/dome light ), open the bonnet pin power comes back up... so weird!
