Found it. Made the change to the +Brown wire and switched the jumper to +. Flashers work like they should for the door lock confirmations while the car is off.
Another issue came up. And this was happening before the flasher wire change.
I thought the key lock and unlock wire change (pink & blue) fixed the unresponsiveness after sitting awhile. At least it did for lock and unlock responsiveness. I have found now that the remote start is unresponsive after sitting overnight. Infact, this morning it set off the factory alarm when I attempted a remote start.
So now, sitting for several hours, remote start does not respond. I see the brake lights activate for the start, but they go out after a few seconds and the parking lights flash 1 time indicating a failed start. No dash lights come on during this.
This evening I tried it again and it failed to start. After pressing the viper lock and unlock several times, I attempted the remote start and it worked.
I'm wondering if a computer "wakeup" is needed. Perhaps using the viper's factory alarm disarm wire to trigger a circuit?
I've had to do something similar with my 02 Explorer.
Update. Disconnected battery hoping to reset the viper and alca. Remote start now failing every time with the 1 flash code of a failed start.
At this point I put the key fob in the car the r/s turns on the car. After I turn the car back off, I'll take the key fob out of the car walk away with it. Then r/s and the car will start again without the key fob inside.
So I'm now thinking the bypass is not reliably transmitting the key fob's frequency?
Could it be an issue of the distance from where I've mounted the bypass in relation to the key slot?
Or the ALCA doesn't transmit the frequency wirelessly, but does so through the wire connections? Making the distance a non issue then.
