This is a new post based on one of my previous ones, but since it is a new issue, I opened a new post. Anwyay:

Ok, just tried to get into the programming meny on my Viper 560XV installed in my 1997 Chrysler Sebring Lxi. Couldn't get into program menu. This made me think my valet switch was bad. So i tried to put it in valet mode with the switch. Worked fine. This made me think possibly the door trigger was bad...there in may lay the problem. I armed the system, then used my key to unlock it. Then opened the door. Nothing. Then i closed the door....voila...alarm began to go off. Now firstly, what does this indicate, how do i fix it. And secondly, would this cause a problem with remote start (ie, does the system think the door is open or something?) thanks so much.

Your Door Trigger is a negative type trigger. Meaning it's Grounded when open, and open when closed. Get a multimeter and test your door trigger wire. Make sure you hooked it up to the (-) door trigger input on your alarm/RS.

Please do not create a new topic about any part of this installation. Please continue in this thread.

So if my car has a (-) door trigger, should I hook up (+) Door trigger input wire H1/6 or (-) Door trigger input wire H1/8 to my door switch wire. I assume it should be H1/8 right? And if my installer has hooked up the H1/6 wire would my alarm behave in this way (ie, set off when the door is closed rather than opened?) Thanks!

Your car uses a negative door/domelight trigger you would use the negative door trigger alarm input. Yes, your system would behave like that when you shut the door, if the wire you are on goes directly to the domelight and not through a module. It sounds to me that it is a little more likely that the door trigger is not connected and you set off the impact sensor when you closed the door. To this theory, and disprove that your installer used the H1/6 + input, you would be able to get into the programming menu with the door closed because the system would think the door is in fact open, the wire (trusting it does not run through a module) will show + when the door is closed.

Good Luck.

Yea still can't get into the menu with the door closed, but I CAN put it into Valet mode with the door closed, but I guess this doesn't have anything to do with the door trigger. I am going to try and open the door and just push the door switch with my finger as to not trigger the impact sensor and see what happens. More to come later!

Dammit...if you want something done right....anyway you were right. Door trigger must not be hooked up. I unlocked the door with the key (system armed) and then pressed the door switch with my finger, nothing. Slammed the door....alarm goes off! Guess I got some work ahead of me.

Did you pay the 'installer'? If you did, I would be calling him/her to fix the job.
