Viper 211HV Problem...

[Duncan McDougal]

I am having trouble with the wiring for the viper 211hv system. I am installing the system in a 1988 ford mustang with factory power locks. I have done the following wiring so far. I have connected the pink/yellow and pink/lt green wires coming from the passenger side to the H1/6 and H1/17 respectively. (note: the passenger side is the master or where the 12v signal comes from) I then connected the drivers side pink/yellow and pink/lt green to the H1/5 and H1/8 respectively. I wanted to know what I do with the fused H1/7 & H1/9 combined wire and how to get the key fob to work?

The door switches on both sides function in both the lock and unlock positions. The module also clicks and flashes the LED when pressing the lock button. It also clicks when pressing the unlock feature and stops the led flash.

H1/1 Red - Yellow constant +12V
H1/5 Green/Black - pink/yellow
H1/6 white/Black - pink/yellow
H1/8 Blue/Black - Pink/ light green
H1/17 brown/black - Pink/light Green
H1/11 Black - chassis ground
H1/15 Yellow - Red/Light Green Switched +12v

This seems hopeless. I have tried wiring the module as per the instructions and still nothing. The most common wiring solution I could find is this:

"white/black to lock switch
green/black to lock motor

brown/black to unlock switch
blue/black to unlock motor

and purple to whatever trigger you need (12v for positive trigger, ground for negative trigger)"

I can't get it to work in any configuration. I have also tried to wire it per the bulldog instructions which are nearly identical to the viper instructions. When I connect the fused purple and purple/black wires to ground it does nothing, when I connect said wires to a +12v source it pops the fuse. It doesn't matter how the lock and unlock wires are connected either, I can reverse them and it does the same thing. So what i have right now are working door lock switches and a keyfob that makes the viper module click.

Labor rates at alarm stereo shops aren't all that bad, just pay to have it put in. You will be surprised how fast they can slap it in and make it work.

Sometimes it's easier to put an engine in than it is to install an alarm.

The violet and violet/black wires should be wired together in parallel with 12V constant 15A capable. There should just be the two wires cut, pink/yellow and pink/light green. If you're still having a short, it might be the unit itself. Mine shorted out after a few years and I lost one of the functions. On a side note, don't use crimp connections. Waste of time. Use solder and heat shrink tubing. Never fails.
