Need help with Viper 550

Can someone please help me complete the install of my Viper 550. Everything is working, except......when you trigger a zone the LED flashes to indicate which zone last triggered, this is normal. The problem is that this last trigger flashing is susposed to clear when you start the vehicle...it does not clear. What tells the alram to reset this?  Does the auto start secondary harness have to be hooked up...this is the one with the tach input? I do not have auto start installed. Any help is welcome and greatly appreciated.

christophe;

thanks for the reply. I follow what you are saying, and I have the satelite relay pack and planed to install soon. I thought that the ignition relay was part of the auto start relay pack. Sounds like this relay is a part of the base system and is needed with or without auto start.........is this correct??

thanks for your help, 

The starter kill relay (with the black, green, orange, and yellow wires) is prewired to the alarm.........that yellow wire needs to see ignition to reset the alarm.

Normally, during bench prep, the installer just clips the starter kill relay onto the pack of five other ones.  Then he shortens the yellow wire, and splices it onto the big pink one, which he's going to hook up to ignition anyway.

However you decided to do it, once you install the starter kill relay, just don't forget to hook the yellow up to ignition someplace.

Thanks Chris,

That's it! The dealer uninstalled this alarm out of my old truck and he just forgot to leave the yellow wire with me. I think I can rig something up to get it working while I look for a new harness (H-1 if anyone has a spare)

thanks much, 

on that system the ignition reset is on the relay pack pink
