Viper 791xv, 2003 Mazda 6

i'm installing a viper 791xv in my 2003 Mazda6, just the basic system, no add ons so far. I got everything working except the door locks (another issue and minor at the moment) and now the only window that operates is the driver's window, the other three are down and do nothing. What happened? I haven't messed with them at all.

vt_hokie2008, you now have 3 different post relating to the same car. Keep all your questions in the same post. It makes it easier for people to follow your progress.Have you used relays or a 451m for the locks? How did you wire them?Also, go park your car in an empty parking lot and put it in first gear. Hit the remote start button and hang on. Now that's what is going to happen when you or someone else leaves it in gear and remote start the car. Insurance probably won't cover the damage your stupidity causes.Did you at least hook up the parking brake wire to the BLACK/ white neutral safety input of the 791XV?Some Mazda's have a wire at the cars ECU that indicate if the car is in gear or not. I would suggest tracking down an ECU wiring diagram to see if it has one.

i have a bigger problem right now. after working on the alarm all day yesterday, i was cleaning up and hiding the wires and got everything done except the door locks and here's the worst part, only my driver's window will go up or down. the other three are down and do nothing. What I don't understand is I never touched anything to do with the windows yesterday and they were working fine before. What could be wrong?

nevermind the windows. i found my problem and i'm an idiot. i hit the window lock button at some point and that's why my windows wouldn't work. imagine that?

As for the door locks, i was told that i don't need relays by a couple of people who have installed this alarm on the same car I have. I'll try more tomorrow. The car remote started fine yesterday, but won't today and I haven't done any more work on it. I did arm the factory alarm with the factory remote and then armed the viper alarm and tried to remote start and the factory alarm went off meaning I don't have keysense hooked up (which i don't remember if i do or not)(right?). When I try to remote start it i can hear the fuel pump turn on, see the park lights flash, but the starter never turns over.

you would connect you starter wire from the alarm sirectly to the starter by the engine

You still need to bypass the clutch to activate the starter. Use a relay or wire the ground when running wire from the remote starter directly to the (-) clutch activation wire. If your using the GOWR wire to activate a bypass module, make sure you diode isolate the wires from each other to prevent possible feedback and problems.

I agree get the manual transmission alarm system. i always take my car out of gear but she doesn't always do the same.you'll come down stairs one morning after remote starting the car to find it in the living room. heaven forbit it should hit the TV

i picked up some SPST relays from radio shack, but how do I wire them? i looked at the relay section on here, but I can't figure it out. the alarm output goes on one side of the coil and the wire to the door locks goes on the N.O. end, but what goes on the other two posts? All I know is that the locks go through a negative and one is through a 1.4k resistor. Please help. Yes, i'm relay dumb.
