Hi. I'm a novice at all this stuff, and what I'm trying to do is install the Viper alarm with power locks. I have already bought the alarm online, and I'm planning to get the actuators at a store today.
My question is, do I just buy the actuators, or do I need to get the wiring and a module also? Do I just connect it to the alarm?
Why I'm confused is in this tutorial, it says I need a switch, and the switch connects to the alarm.
https://www.commandocaralarms.com/manuals/power_lock_install.htm
When I called a car store, they said I just need actuators and it connects to the alarm.
Help anyone?

You don't need a central door locking kit or module unless you want it to lock and unlock all doors with pushing the lock switch on door or locking or unlocking with the key.
You will need to get two relays and wire them for reversal rest at ground as diagrammed on this site unless your alarm has them built into it like some other Hornet, Viper pieces. Then you just follow manual you received with Viper 5701.

The wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.
Do it right the first time... or I might have to fix it for ya

If I get the module, would I still need to buy the relays? I looked at the manual and the Viper 5701 doesn't have built in relays.

tehcman93 is right you need 2 relays but if you dont want to wire up relays for what ever reason, you can get a d.e.i part called a 451m its 2 relays pre wired and it has instructions on how to wire it up for when adding actuators

A central door locking kit with all parts will be all you need. The module is what the relays would do. Or buy the part fcss had recommended and just two actuators and wire them according to the directions.
If you still don't understand all of the posts to instruct you how to do it, then you may want to let someone with more experience do it so you don't fudge something up and in the end, still need someone to install and fix what you made go wrong.

I've been trying to install this actuator on the Corolla for days now. How do you get the actuator wire in there? I am a total beginner, but I've read up on all these tutorials. The cable that I'm suppose to clamp is all the way inside deep in the metal frame. Can anyone help me?

actuators are not recommended for cable lock systems. I would recommend trying to get on a rod at the latch or purchasing the factory actuators.

you will need to mount the actuator behind the metal. Find a spot that it will fit, mark and drill holes in the metal at the appropriate location. You will need to use bolts, lockwashers, and nuts to mount the actuator. It should have come with a metal rod that you can bend similar to the picture above. The kit should also have come with a metal block to attach the rod of the kit to the rod of the vehicle.

I installed power locks on my car by myself yesterday morning, and now the door monitor doesn't work. When I put the key in the ignition with the door open, it doesn't beep anymore. It also doesn't show that a door is open when I'm driving. I own a 1997 Corolla. What should I do?

Do you have the owner's manual for the vehicle?

The dome light fuse is usually in a black fuse box adjacent to the battery, check the driver's door switch, does the dome light come on when you open the door? The actual fuse is probably one controling a processor, BCI etc, had that problem on an IS Lexus once.

I just finished installing a Viper 5701 on a 97 Corolla (hehe). My parking lights don't seem to work, and I'm not even sure if I have them. I followed the wire diagram. The way I interpreted the instructions, they said to cut the parking light wire and connect a WHITE/ brown one on one side, and a white one on another.
Well I did that and it doesn't work, so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. Help anyone?

It was a fuse. My car was recently stolen and the radio was taken. I guess when i was working on the actuators, it shorted the wires sticking out. I just replaced a fuse.

hmm sounds like you isolated the park light switch with a relay, i don't remember ever having to do that in one of those cars but if it works i'd say you did a good job connecting to a wire 5wi style so props for that. but just in case look over the instructions again because im pretty sure its straight voltage or ground, in the car's case straight voltage

Well I got everything hooked up guys. Thanks for all the help! Well, the only thing left is the trunk relay. I need to go out and get one of those. And the Dome supervision light. It seems so hard to get a wire there.
