A local shop installed a Viper 5904 Alarm with all the bells and whistles that I wanted. I have smart start via android app, stinger dual stage shock sensor, 516u voice, 508d perimeter and a tilt sensorand HD remote. This is the first time I have paid for an alarm install but since it's been 15 or so years since I installed an alarm on my vehicle, I figured I'd let them do it.
2003 Honda CR-V is the vehicle that it is installed on.
As of now, I have a glorified remote keyless entry..no alarm.
Reason is, 95% of the time, and not at the installers.. I can drive to my destination, get out, shut the door and after 20 to 30 seconds up to mabey 10 minutes. .the alarm will go off. My key fob says shock sensor, and I verified it with the control centers light.
It's a rats nest under my dash..omg..when I opened it up I flipped. First, I checked to make sure that they didn't try to use the 2 sensor ports for the pro sensor. Looks like my tilt sensor and shock are the only 2 and somewhere in the rats nest is the pro tied into the shock sensor wires. I looked for diodes and didn't see any. So, I grabbed my solder ing iron out and 4 1n4004 diodes and put em close to the plug that goes into the sensor and left about a inch and a half of wire to the plug. Heat shrink also. **But, here is something that tossed me for a loop, I put one on the blue and one on the green at my pro sensor "and it's A Omega brand?" Wonder why they used it instead of DEI 508D, anyway..I bought one yesterday but got too legate to mess any more tonight.
On the shock sensor, the green wire was still looped to the blue. I was going to diode the green and the blue but only put a diode on the blue. I thouggt the green should have been cut and tied into the green on the alarm unit abd after unwrapping electrical tape that they used to try and tidy things up...I see that there is a green and it looks as if the last tech that looked at it put a new shock sensor plug ad wire set on and used a crimp splice to UT the greens together and iliminated the green from the shock sensor but the green from prix is tied in there.
Also, I have a house alarm that I had before I got my viper installed. When I pull up at the house, arm my car and go inside my house armed or disarmed, my motion. proximity ..movement radar that's mounted in my upper right corner of my living room set off my car alarm. It don't it at the installers shop once from his motion sensor of his business.
But most of the time, I can go to the storw, my buddiea, work, mall walmart or wherever and it will go off saying shock sensor. It doesn't warn. .it's full on alarming.
I have changed the shock sensor and changed the prox sensor "they used another Omega" and going to change to the 508d tomorrow. Also today, I unhooked my proxy that's on there and it seemed to do fine. I messed with it for a hour or so. I also unhooked the shock sensor as well and it also seemed to work fine with just the warn away and then full on alarm if tripped again with in 10 secs or less.
When I tske it to the install shop, they can't get it to reproduce any problems.
*also, shock sensor is tied to wiring harness, it is not on any metal or so lit surface. Tilt sensor is at my sterling colum where it pass through the fire wall and prox is in the center my my suv with the wire plug towards the front of the vehicle.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thx
