Viper 5900sst

Explorer 06

I had my viper 5900 installed by alarm installer. They left many wires out and I am trying to connect them myself. I, myself, work with 24V AC everyday, installing relays for HVAC zonepanels. But I never installed a r/s for a car.

I was reading the install manual and it says that you could connect the tach wire (violet/white) to the tachometer or +12V. The easiest way is connect it to a +12V, unless someone can point to me where exactly to find the tachwire.

Can I connect this tach input wire directly to any +12V or do I have to use some device in between?

Also, when I unlock/unlock the doors using the factory remote the dome light, foglight, park and sidemirriors light come on when unlocking. And these lights goes off when locking. How can I use the 5900 to do this. Can I use the green and blue lock/unlock wire to do this by tapping it to the factory system. If yes, I don't know yet where to tap it into. And how can change these lock and unlock ouputs to either - or +

Other thing, the installer never gave me anything back like installguide, toggle switch, hood pinswitch e.o. What they gave me back is the user manual, which doesn't show you almost anything, and a little red harness with brown and ORANGE / balck wires. I'm wondering what this 2 wire harness is for. Is it for the toggle siwtch to disable the system temporary or is it for something else? See the pic below.

Harness H4

H4/1 - ORANGE / Black - Channel 6 Output - Provides (-)200mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Channel 6 is pressed. (connect to a relay only)

H4/2 - Brown - (-) 200mA Horn - provides (-) 200mA output to the horn when programmed (connect to a relay)

tack input wire is a violet/white wire in a 5pin harness off the unit... other color in this harness are BLACK/ white, brown, gray, blue/white

Daxton, thanx for the qiuck response.

Do you know if the tachwire (violet/white) connects directly to any +12V or the the tachometer?

you would need to find that wire in youre truck in order to make youre domelights come on with the remote of youre viper the output on the viper is a black white wire in the primary harness you will also need a relay to convert the output from youre alarm witch is a - into a + output

Mauri197, thanks for the response.

does the yellow/gray wire also shut the lights off. Because when I use the factory remote to lock the doors, it shuts the lights (dome, park, e.o) off.

I still don't understand about the tach wire.

And do you maybe know where to find the foglights wire. I found the one at the switch that needs to switch to the ground for the relay with the ignition on and the park relay activated. But I am looking for the wire that goes to the foglights itself.

Thanks agian.

I meant "parklights relay" not park relay.

Thanks

The tach wire has but one function, to tell the remote start what your engine is doing. It monitors the engines AC, not DC. Chances are you'll need to run this wire to the engine compartment. Where you hook it up to all depends on which engine you happen to have. For example; on the Ford Duratec (DOHC) engine the best place is at one of the sparkplug coils. You can test this wire with a voltmeter and in your case it WON'T be the gray or the purple wire. You'll want to solder this wire too. I do not have a wiring diagram for a 06, but I do have one for a 03, which should be similar. If you tell me which engine you have I can post that section of the wiring diagram from the Ford service manual for you tomorrow. Regarding the lights, yes the remote start should control the lights coming on/off but you can always verify this by reading the remote starts owners manual.

thanks guys.

Mauri,

they didn't connect the tach wire input. The left it off.

I don't understand what you mean with "Not Gray or Puple". What wires of those and where are they located.

And also on the viper 5900 install manual, it says that you can program the tach input to either tach or +12V.

Does this mean that I can hook it to +12V DC. I know that from your many experience +12V does mess up.

Angelars,

The install guide says that I can program the tach input to +12V also. Do the mean 12V DC.

My engine is a 6 cyl. 4.0L.
