Viper 5501 problems
I am installing a viper 5501 remote starter (without security) and a BypassKit PKFM connected via D2D cable., I have run into a couple issues that i cant seem to figure out.
Last night I thought I was done, programmed the PKFM (I think), and tried to remote start. Nothing happend, then pressed lock to test the keyless entry (which was working earlier) and the horn got stuck engaged. I tried to start with the key and the battery was dead. I boosted the Truck and its running fine, but.
1. As soon as the viper module gets power, the horn engages and will not stop. I have pulled the pin from H1/3 for now.
2. Remote start does not work, the 2 way remote thinks it works, then after 30 seconds it says "remote start off".
3. The parking lights and keyless entry are working properly (I press lock on the fob and the doors lock, and the lights flash once). However 10 seconds after locking the doors, the LCD FOB beeps and tells me that the door is open (even though it is not.)
Here is the vehicle specific portion of the wiring. There is no hood switch as of now, and the override and neutral switches are working. I have triple checked all connection, they are correct as listed, and the solder joints are solid.
The Viper programming sequences still work. I have set the transmission mode to Automatic.
Anyone out there installed a viper, and can see anything I am doing wrong? How did the horn get stuck in this state, when I programmed the transmission mode it was working fine?

Update: Got the remote start working, I missed one of the red wires on the H3 (heavy gauge remote start) harness. All remote start features are working great.
problems 1 and 3 still exist, not sure where to even start there.

sometimes when you initially put the fuses in, the units will activate like the alarm is being tampered with, you try unlocking/disarming it right away? Are the parking lights flashing aswell?
3. The parking lights and keyless entry are working properly (I press lock on the fob and the doors lock, and the lights flash once). However 10 seconds after locking the doors, the LCD FOB beeps and tells me that the door is open (even though it is not.)
door ajar error. in the viper manual its menu 2 option 3. turn it off. the door trigger(green) is still seeing a ground when you arm it, like a dome light delay. Check to see if your door triggers are correct and also check the purple (+ door trigger).
see how that works out for ya..

Parking lights work like they should, one flash for lock, two for unlock, and on solid while the truck is remotely started.
I changed that setting and it made no difference. Any other suggestions out there?
