[pontiac_rayzer 10+ year member]

ok, here's the thing i'm installing a viper alarm with remote start, i've got almost all the things the alarm is supposed to do working //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif, but i can't seem to get the remote start to work:verymad:, i can't find the tach wire and the neutral safety switch on a 2000 lincoln town car, if someone can tell me where to find those wires i would really appreciate it.

NSS wire ( The Black White) Gets grounded or put on a toggle switch but must be grounded to start. Tach can be found at a injector, or coil. Also, Vipers have nice Voltage Sense modes that i have never had a problem with, so maybe try voltage set to 1 sec, and then the low setting.

Good luck bro.

yeah ground out the neutral saftey wire and go to an injector green/white or grn/yel toward the front of the engine.

Check your tach wire by setting your multimeter to ac... one side to ground and the other to the wire... as the car is reved up you should see an increase in voltage and a drop when it goes back down.

I always use voltage sensing though... one second crank time.

any help is greatly appreciated

Why are you using a relay for the horn? Is it positive trigger? The reason nothing is happening is because you have no trigger for the relay. You cant just ground 85 and put power to 86. You need a switching output on one or the other.

positive trigger? no its a negative trigger so how should i do it

85-12v horn output

86-ground

87-ground

30-horn wire.

 

[pontiac_rayzer 10+ year member]

85-12v horn output86-ground

87-ground

30-horn wire.

so its gonna be like this......

85 12v horn output

86 ground from alarm?

87ground

30 horn wire

What model Viper is it? Is there a dedicated horn output or are you using the siren output? If there is a negative horn output you shouldnt even need a relay.

its the 5900 i think its the model number, and yeah there is a dedicated horn output but it says on the manual to use a relay so what do you think:crap:

I dont for the code alarm pieces but if it says to use one than I would. But I dont use sirens so that may be why.

85 is the horn output from alarm

86 is 12v

87 is ground.

30 to horn.
