Hi Everyone.

I have installed a Viper 5906v. I am trying to use H1/6 to energize a relay to feed power to a set of movement sensors. Currently there is NO output from H1/6. The rest of the system works correctly.

Does H1/6 need to be programmed to work as I need?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Silly question but have you tested when armed?

One more thing; check the voltage between your earthing (ground) point and all your fuses.

99% of the system is working perfectly so I don't think it is an earthing issue but I will check again all the same. Thanks.

Driving a relay with a Ground While Armed output will (as Howie would say) flatten your battery after a day or so. If you drive this thing everyday you may be safe. Just some food for thought.

Do you know Craig, I missed the part about driving the relay, that's a no-no and if the OP wired that relay wrong that would fry the GWA circuit.

He will be fine other than the flat battery. He did state 500 milliamp capacity. Typical Bosch/Tyco relay 160 mill.

160ma is 3.8 AmpHr per 24 hour period. Depending on battery size, age, and state of charge, one could probably use 40-ish Amp hrs and still be able to start the car. 10 days or so.

Not if the relay is activating a circuit drawing say 4 amps, then you'll have problems.

BTW, if the GWA doesn't work use one of the aux outputs and configure it as a GWA.
