viper 211 hv, mini peterbilt

I'm having issues connecting the Viper 211 HV to my project build. The wiring diagram is confusing. Can someone point me in the right direction? waynes world

The 211 has on-board door lock relays, and 6 wires are associated with the locks. The 211 is about as basic as installs come. Most of the wire functions should be self-explanatory. Get those connected up and the alarm system functioning. Then deal with the locks. From observation here, some DIY's and novices have difficulty understanding lock system wiring and interfaces. Knowing the vehicle, or what the lock system is if a custom-build, peeps here can tell you the wiring connections for the 6 211's lock wires.

Dave, without further info from the OP there's no point in proceeding although we could make an assumption ref Spal/Mes.

Guys, The truck is a conversion to a mini Peterbilt in my garage . I followed the "directions". The red, yellow & orange are hots. The black is ground. The grn/blk , & the blue/ blk are the wires to the actuators. Violet & violet/blk are hots to the circuits. This is where I can't get the fobs to open or close the locks. I used myPower Probe to check all four actuators & they function well. This is where I'm at now. The conversion in based on my 96 Dodge 2500 dieiselrace truck. Is there any ideas?

davep, the unit has 18 wires on the box. I just posted the ones I used but it still doesn't work. That's why I'm puzzled as to the cause of my issues.. WAYNES WORLDwaynes world

My responses begin with -- Guys,The truck is a conversion to a mini Peterbilt in my garage . --Sounds like a cool Project. I followed the "directions". The red, yellow & orange are hots. -- red H1/1 = hot at all times -- Yellow H1/15 = Hot with IGN ON only. -- Orange H1/16 = ground when armed. You shouldn't need this. Disconnect it. The black is ground. -- Black H1/11, correct, is ground. The grn/blk , & the blue/ blk are the wires to the actuators. --Correct. Lock and unlock sides of the actuators. Violet & violet/blk are hots to the circuits. --These two should be Hot at all times. Fuse them, too. -- ^^ These 4 connections should now be correct depending on how the manual switches (if any) are wired. -- If you do NOT have manual switches for the actuators, (this is a stand-alone RKE-only system) then you need to connect: Brn/blk and the wht/blk wires to Ground. -- IF you DO have interior manual switches, report back how these are wired to the actuators. You can try it first, but if it blows fuses, we'll have to figure out how the switches are wired. Are they the stock Dodge wiring and switches? This is where I can't get the fobs to open or close the locks. -- Connect the brn/blk and wht/blk wires to ground. -- Some DEI's won't actuate the locks if the IGN is on (the yellow wire) so connect that to an IGN-only source, and try the locks again. There's some ideas. I KNEW this was "something special" Howie. That's why I replied the way I did in the first post. Cheers. DP.

I'm so sorry. This is a Remote Keylees Entry ONLY. No alarm. I installed an Avital 2101 two weeks ago. No wonder the wiring looked familiar. Same thing as your 211. This post should get you straightened out. ```````````````````````````` OK. If you still have the stock 1996 Dodge lock wiring and switches, use this diagram as a guide. Here's the way I would do it. At the passenger switch, Cut the pnk/blk and orn/blk wires in two. Connect switch-side pnk/blk to 211 brn/blk. Connect switch-side orn/blk to 211 wht/blk. Connect motor-side pnk/blk to 211 blu/blk. Connect motor-side orn/blk to 211 grn/blk. Connect 211 violet and violet/blk to FUSED Hot at all times. (Tap the red wire at door switch would be acceptable as well). I triple-checked the above. It will work, if the Dodge wiring is still in the below configuration. EDIT: Is this your truck? The red one? 12.94? That's a lot of iron to move that quickly. I'm a Syclone Owner, and don't worry too much about being beat on the street, but I'd loose to you if you had time to spool-up. Pretty cool stuff. [/IMG]

Guys, I'm looking into these responses. I appreciate the info. This is my truck-------- I'll get back with the results -- I hope soon. Thank You, WAYNES WORLDwaynes world

Guys---- check out that lights only photo. This is the project thus far. Stay tuned ----- Thank You, WAYNES WORLDwaynes world
