Viper 5002 Questions

[Wicked Mayhem]

Ive had my viper alarm for a while now, and last night i went to run a couple wires through the big grommet on the driver side firewall. i poked a screw driver through it with the wires taped to it, and my friend fed em out, and didn't nick any wires that he saw. and my dome light switch thing has been acting up as well, and i armed the truck, and it chirped, but it sounded like it wasn't getting full power or something cause it was like a half ass chirp like it was dieing. so i went to disarm it and the remote vibrated, but my led on my dash was still flashing like it was armed and my doors didn't unlock. so i reached inside and unlocked it, then opened the door and the alarm went off, so i unarmed it. then it was fine after that. now when i go to arm it, the truck doesn't chirp. that's what Ive been wanting it to do, but i didn't program anything for it to not make noise, so what gives?

well the little chirp box alarm sound thing i fixed. i grounded it at a different spot and it works again. weird.

and ive just been leaving my dome light off so i dont have to worry about that right now.

Overall, how do you like the 5002?

[Wicked Mayhem]

i like it! i dont have electric start or anything for it, but its nice.

just be sure to have a good place do the install. mine is a freakin rats nest. only part that sucks!

I was going to say check the ground before I even read your 2nd post. A bad ground can make the siren act funky.

[Wicked Mayhem]

thats where how the ground can just go bad. o well, easy fix. glad i checked that out before buying a new siren thing

you beat me to the ground. We used to hook up everything but the alarm ground and listen to how it tries to pull power through the siren. It sounds like the old game Pole Position coming out the siren
