Hi,

I'll be installing a Viper 100esp keyless entry system into this vehicle. I looked at the wiring information on the12volt, but it doesn't show the wires for the domelight...and for Door unlock, it says it's a white wire, but the location is "positive trigger". What does this mean?

Does anyone have another wiring diagram?

Thanks!

By the way, any idea if I'll need a relay for:

1. The parking lights, since the diagram says they're positive.

2. For the door locks, I'm not sure which system I have.

I'm having a problem with the parking lights wire. From the diagram, it says it's a brown wire (+) coming from the steering column. Well, I found a brown wire that's sort of in a ribbon cable with other wires that come down from the steering column....then they split up at the end to go into a plastic harness. I tested this wire, and it showed 12.09v+ with the lights off, and then when I turned them on, it dropped to 11.96v+ or so. I tried hooking up the relay to this wire, and blew the fuze for the hazard lights (also brake lights), and the parking lights were still able to turn on. I've never had so much difficulty with the stupid parking lights. Any hints?

EDIT: I also was able to get part of the dash cover off (trying to just get to the headlight switch). I was able to pull out the switch, but the white plastic connector would not come out. I figured that was a for-sure way to get the right wire, but couldn't ge to that either.

There's also a brown wire in where I found the door lock wire, but that didn't test right either. I'm running out of brown wires!
