Recently acquired a Viper 5901 remote start/alarm unit for cheap. Tackling the installation myself, save a couple hundred bucks on the install.
Got it all put in as per wiring diagrams I got Directly from Directed Electronics, and using an older installation manual. Alarm works like a charm. The remote start however does not.. I get a "remote start error" followed by 8 flashes, as per the manual that means the neutral safety switch (NSS) isn't grounded. The NSS is, however, on the same ground as the brain box, so I would assume if it didn't have ground, the alarm wouldn't work..
Didn't know if anyone had a suggestion. I know I'll probably get the whole "you're an idiot for trying yourself," something I'm frankly tired of.. lol I'm very electronically savvy, pinned everything out to the T of Directed Electronics. Only thing I could think of (IF all the wiring is right) is that the brain box is wompy, which I've read several accounts of online.
Any input is welcomed, as long as it's positive. Thanks!
