Hey suayan1,

Before you have it towed anywhere, find out if one of the guys will come out to your car to have a look if it isn't too far away,  most shops would.  Like I said before it isn't the remote starter's fuses that are the problem especially since the BLUE/RED ACC wire in the car is not required for remote starting hence it probably isn't even connected to the remote starter.  It's an ACC fuse under the hood for sure.  It might be that the amp is connected to the ACC line and the volume might have been left wide open when the car was turned off so that when you did the key take-over the instantaneous heavy draw blew the ACC fuse.  Check the cars fuses. . . replace the one that's blown. . . make an appointment to go back to your installer for a check-up.  VIPER 550 ESP problem - Page 2 -- posted image.

Prepare your future. It wasn't the lack of stones that killed the stone age.

Hey Big Dog,

2 more questions for ya, now that I found that mistake with the fuses:

1:  Do you know what size the wire is (the 2 power, 2 ign, 1 purple remote start, and 1 orange)

from the remote start relay satellite?  Along with the wrong fuses, some of these wires are very
short and I wanted to extend them...and I'm having trouble determining what size they are (12awg?).

2:  Do you know what size fuse goes with the red wire in main harness?  I know there's another wire

that has a fuse in the main harness but I can't remember which one to ask about.  Oh well.

THANKS!

i have checked the fuses in my car and none of them are blown.. are their fuses or relays in the Viper module that could have gone bad? hopefully, since there are no known fuses blown, the problem is isolated to the Viper module. Does anyone know if this can problem can seriously affect the car? Has Viper been known to have defective modules or is it simply the way it was wired that would have caused the short circuit or blown fuse? I just want to make sure that there are no serious damages to the car, the electrical system or the starter.  I don't really know much about how to check the wiring or anything, but I will get the car towed back to the installer for him to check out. Are there any questions I should ask him? or things i should look out for? any more help would be great!

cp goose the red wire in th emain harness gets a 10 amp fuse the white wire in the same harness gets a 15 and the two reds in the relay satelite harness get a 30 amp each  and the small red one gets a 3 amp fuse. the wire's on the satelite is 14 guage i believe.
