I just had a Viper 791xv installed on my '98 Trans AM, and almost everything works fine. The only thing not working is the door locks. They unlock like they are suppossed to, but they do NOT lock by using the remote, or by pushing the lock button on the door itself. Unfortunately the guys at the shop couldn't figure it out. Anyone have any ideas?

Did everything work before you took it into the alarm shop?

Sure did, everything worked fine. They messed with it for about a day and a half and then gave up, and are tying to say that there must be something wrong electrically with what was already there, but it worked fine before that(It was just the stock alarm setup before). I know they overlooked/are missing something simple. Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge of this stuff at all.

They messed something up, could be as stupid as knocking a connector loose or removing a relay.

If you can print these up and take them to the installer. If that doesn't work talk to them about going to the car dealership.

By the way, does the lock switch work correctly on the passenger's door? Also where are you located?

I'm thinking they messed something up too, and they did suggest going to the dealer or somewhere else that might be able to troubleshoot the wiring itself.

The switch on the passenger door doesn't work either. So, neither switches nor the remote can lock the door, but all 3 work in terms of unlocking the door.

It looks to me like there is only one wire, RED / black that could have any problems with it, and it should be easy to troubleshoot it. I just don' t have any knowledge of this stuff.

What is the difference between:

Power Lock	RED / black	-	green plug at the BCM
Notes: The BCM is located in the passenger kick, just in front of the blower motor.

and:

Lock Motor	gray	5wi	green plug at the BCM
Notes: The BCM is located in the passenger kick, just in front of the blower motor.

They never mentioned anything about a plain gray wire, so that could be it, and I understand they followed the picture diagram when they wired it. I really do appreciate the help...i'm a mechanical guy, not electrical

I'm in Dallas...you don't happen to be close by do you?

Thanks again!!!

Yes, I have an idea. I did an alarm on a 00' Camaro (almopst the same setup you have). I had the same problem. It ended up being a blown fuse for the door locks. I hooked everything up and it all worked fine, but as soon as I touched the factory keyless remote...it blew the fuse. I didn't realize it and when I tried to use the new alarm, the door would lock at all. Took me forever to find out the I had a blown fuse in the fuse box. Check that fuse, if it's blown, replace it and never ever touch the factory keyless remote again, for some reason it causes the system to blow fuses. I did this on the car I was working on and it fixed everything perfectly. If this is not the problem, I have no idea.

Thanks for the advice! I'll check all the fuses when the sun comes up tomorrow...Do you remember which switch it was, because the owners manual doesn't have anything labeled for the door locks...
