Hello,
I'm halfway through an alarm/RS install on the GF's car and have a couple of questions about wiring. I installed an alarm/RS in one of my old cars 7-8 years ago and had no issues at all, but am having some trouble with this one. Either the install process got more complex, or I just got dumber. It's a 2015 Honda CR-V with no fancy factory options -- pretty much just power windows/locks, standard key, trunk has to be opened manually, OEM hood switch installed and really no other additional accessories that have to be wired to the alarm/RS. I've got the alarm system installed (doors lock/unlock, siren chirps etc.) but am unsure about the 10 pin RS harness since the terminology is tricky, to me at least..
Question #1: By looking at the images below, what wires from the Viper harness need to be attached to the OEM 5 pin connector, and to which of the 5 pins?
I was under the impression that the Red 12v constant wire from the 6 pin harness and the red + red/black wire from the 10 pin harness all needed to go to a constant 12v, which would be the white wire.
The pink (viper 10 pin) ignition 1 input wire would connect to the red (OEM) ignition wire.
Would it be the green or violet starter (viper 10 pin) wire that would connect to the green (OEM) starter wire?
I've connected the orange (viper 10 pin) Accessory Output + wire to the OEM Accessory Blue + wire.
I have no idea what should connect to the OEM Second Accessory wire though..
Question 2: I'm 100% certain that I have tapped into the correct parking light wire (-) and have set the Viper internal fuse to the (-) position, but I still can't get the parking lights to function... What can I do to troubleshoot this? I've tried splicing it in two different places and even set the internal fuse position to (+) just to test it and haven't had any luck. All I hear are the clicks coming from the dash that indicate the lights should be flashing.
As far as the 6 pin harness goes, obviously the red wires goes to 12v constant, black is grounded, brown goes to the siren (+), white goes to the parking light that still doesn't work, and I read that I don't need the white/brown or orange wire. Let me know if any of that sounds wacky to you.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I only agreed to do this because on my old car the entire process took about four hours. I've already spent about 10 hours on this since I'm unfamiliar with the car (and Honda's in general).
Thanks,
Zack
