viper 5901 flash turn signals

Hello everyone, I would like to wire up my viper 5901 r/s so that the turn signals flash along with the parking lights when arming and disarming. Right now I have the r/s parking light output connected to the cars parking light wire. Now, would it be as simple as splitting the r/s parking light output wire and tapping that into the GREEN/ red wire behind my hazard switch? Would I need to diode isolate the parking wire?

Here are the wiring diagrams for my car (05 acura tsx)



Hazard switch

Are you currently using the Viper's arm and disarm wires (GREEN/ black and GREEN / WHITE) for anything?

I would leave the parking lights the way they are, and connect arm and disarm together to the hazards.

That way, you'll still get parking lights during remote start runtime, but also hazard flashes with lock, unlock, remote start initiation, and remote start shutdown. I think that would be pretty nice.

It appears that the GREEN/ red wire will activate the hazards with a positive signal. So you'd need to use your GREEN/ black and GREEN / WHITE (spliced together) to trigger a relay to make positive (see relay section on this site), and then connect that to the GREEN/ red.

Directechs shows the location of the GREEN/ red as: left side of dash fuse box, green 30 pin plug, pin 28

Do you mean the factory alarm disarm/arm wire? If so, yes I am using that since the car has a factory alarm. Will your method still work in this case? I was hoping to avoid having to use any relays since the parking light output on the viper 5901 is already set to positive

Will using the arm/disarm wire method still work if I am already using them for the factory alarm system?

Yes, it should. You would have to tap off of them. But if you use those, you will need to use a relay as Chris mentioned and you would also need to diode isolate them. Attached is a diagram on how to do this.

Otherwise, you can use the parking lights but then the turn signals would be on at all times the parking lights would be on....not just for arming/disarming.

Perfect! Thanks for the help guys. Appreciate it

I got around to doing this but one thing i'm noticing is that upon arming the car, the turn signals flash once followed by another quick flash. Disarming the car, the signals just flash once. I was hoping that they would flash in sequence with the parking lights

Your feed is powering the hazard flasher relay and it sounds like the Viper pulse output for the arm is longer than the disarm. I don't see any other way of getting around this unless you can figure out what wires you can tap into AFTER the relay. You would probably have to tap into each turn signal wire. Of course using more diodes to isolate.

Ah yes that makes sense. Would it work if I just split the 12v feed that I currently have tapped into the hazard switch and wire that directly to the (+) of my LED side mirror turn signals instead since I only want them to flash? Would I need to diode isolate as well in this case?

Thanks for the help!

Here's another wire diagram for the turn signals (continuation from the first two I posted earlier):

*EDIT*: Just realized that if I wired 12v to the RED / BLU and BRN wires at the LED mirror turn signals, the rest of the turn signals will probably go on as well. How would I prevent this from happening and only have the LED mirror signals flash?

That could all work. Just disconnect from the hazard wire and use that to control the 2 mirror lights. You just need to add 4 more diodes so you keep the turn signals seperated. (diodes are fun...right?)

See my wiring diagram below. Note, you will actually have to cut the RED / BLU and BRN wires and put a diode in between the two ends to pull this off.   Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the diagram sparkyssb, I will give it a try
