Viper 5901 Alarm DIY!

[startswitha]

Which wire stops the LED from blinking when it's unlocked? Right now, my LED is on all the time, even when unlocked and driving.

You might not have the ignition wire hooked up correctly. When the alarm on the 5901 goes off, the LED stays blinking until the ignition is started regardless of whether the doors are unlocked, or youre driving if your ignition wire isn't hooked up.

I have a question about the trunk release
Which of these whote/red wire is trunk release

Ive lost the key fob and have no way of finding which is + and -

I dont want it so that when its hooked up on the wrong wire it could potentially fry something

not sure if our car has the same wiring or not but what your looking for is a wire that when 12v is applied, it will pop the trunk.

quick way to find out? apply 12v to the wire and see if it pops

right way? use a multimeter with the key fob but since you do not have this then

Alternative way? remove the door sill and match the red/white wire going to the back. There should be only 1 red/white going back (IIRC) and that will be the trunk wire.

i recommend a relay for trunkpop

Which relay would you recommend for the trunk pop?

If i apply 12v, which would be my ground? The chassis?
Will using a 12v battery(those duracell ones) be safe and not fry anything?

I used a 12v power supply when I was testing mine. Any 12V should be fine. Chances of frying something is slim. Your more likely to blow a fuse then anything. Your only applying it for like a second before your trunk pops. Anything metal can be ground.
