2005 nissan titan burning smell.

I recently installed a remote start unit (VIPER 5704) everything was working fine, remote start functioned properly the night before for the full 12 minute run cycle. When I remote started the car this morning 5 minutes into driving I smelt a burning smell. It was from the remote start module. I was wondering If any of my wires were connected wrong? CAR      5704 GREEN (12+)----- RED / WHITE     RED      RED / BLACK BROWN (STARTER) ----- VIOLET       GREEN LIGHT GREEN (2ND STARTER) ------   PINK/WHITE BLACK/ RED (IGNITION) ------- PINK RED (ACCESSORY) -------ORANGE PURPLE (2ND ACCESSORY)------- RELAY (87)12+ (85)GND (30) PURPLE(5704) 86) RED (CAR) WAS I SUPPOSED TO USE THE PINK/BLACK WITH THE PINK/WHITE?

flex relay was set to 2nd starter

Assuming that the Titans' Brown Starter wire was cut and the 5704 Green & Violet wires were connected as per...

Not following you ACC2 relay wiring (  Pin (30) PURPLE(5704) ) and it looks like it would be ON not only during R/S but

also with the ignition key.  The easier ( and more logical to me ) way would be :Relay Pin 85 to Viper ORANGE (-) 200mA ACCESSORY OUTPUTRelay Pin 86 and 87 to +12V constant fused at 25 AmpsRelay Pin 30 to Titan Purple ACC2 wireRelay Pin 87A not used - insulate

Soldering is fun!

brown starter wire was cut and connected as described.  87- 12v+     

       87- 12v+ 86- RED ACC from car   87A- empty      85-GND                30-Purple

Is this the wrong way to relay the ACC2? and would this cause the 5704 brain to burn?

OK. Relay Pin 30 to Titan Purple ACC2.

No, it will work and shouldn't hurt the Viper.  But as mentioned above it will also be on all the time the key is running the truck, too. 

Maybe there is another wiring issue, but the H3 ignition wires look OK ( assuming all Titan ignition wires were DMM verified ).

Soldering is fun!

color codes were obtained from directechs. Could you think of any other possibilities as to why the brain has been fried? all on board relays are not functioning anymore either. parking lights as well. TITAN parking lights are + and the brain jumper was set to +. No other wires are + triggers, and all others are - triggers.

Where was the unit grounded?Kenny
