I'm installing a viper 550esp in my car and i need the wiring harness diagrams for it th eother diagrams here are not the same because they are 4 doors and mine is 2. I have the alarm part done other than i can't seem to make the doors lock but everything else works for the alarm. When i connect to the wiring harness for the factory alarm using the other diagrams it closes the top and windows but not the locks?

POWER LOCK-------------WHITE/ red           |+  |factory alarm plug *1      
POWER UNLOCK---------blue/red            |+  |factory alarm plug *1     

The alarm plug is a black 12 pin plug located just behind the glove box. It is mounted with the pins facing you atop a vent just to the left of the body computer. Other wires at the alarm plug are: 12V- RED / white; Accessory- PURPLE / white; Siren- BLACK/ blue; Ground- BROWN / orange. Do not use the power sources at the alarm plug to operate high-current devices. The other side of the siren wire is mounted in a 2 pin plug at the passenger rear corner of the engine compartment. The other wire in the plug is a brown ground wire. DEI recommends attaching the siren at this point.

thanks I have the locks going now and I used the post for the double lock and it now locks the trunk and the gas tank, sweeeeet. I still can't figure out why, when the drivers door is open you can't lock the doors when you arm the system. If the passenger door is open you can lock with the remote, i've tried switching the wires for the door pins but it still does it. oh well, if i arm the alarm from the passenger side then close the door it sets the alarm off anyway. Do you know where the wires for the power top are under the dash?
