Hi,

I have a 1987 Corvette. I want to install my Viper 211. I have most everytning worked out on the wiring except I need to know it tte Vette is + or - with respect to the parking light flashing . I belive it to be + in in that the Viper module puts out 12v to the park lights when the door receives the unlock pulse.

Thanks

Don
