I do installing for a living and i am stumped on what to do about this. I put a viper 350hv in my 2002 dodge intrepid. my car never came with key less entry. mind you that car had power locks already. if i manually lock the door with the switch on the inside of the car and shut the door my dome light will dim and go out but if i just shut the door and lock it with the vipers fob the it will lock and chip twice meaning it is overriding the dome light because it wont dim. there are two ways i can think of to fix it. one is to set the setting on the viper to auto arm 30 seconds after the last door is shut or fix the dome light problem. please help!
What exactly do you need help with? Your door trigger and trunk trigger are going to be found in the driver's kick panel, and the parking lights will be on the back of the fuse panel. Constant wires should be at the ignition harness.
diode isolate the doors 4 diodes and one more diode so the 12v don't come back to the alarm green wire in the drivers door total 5 diodes and it work i did it on a 2003 limited town and country some system
I can think of a couple options. First of all, instead of connecting your door trigger wire to the dome light, you can connect it directly to the door switch wires. They should report only when the door is open, so the alarm won't detect the dome light delay. My listing shows a tan wire for the driver's door, and tan/red for the passenger doors; you'd have to use diodes if you want to connect both to the negative door trigger wire. If you close the driver's door, and lock it with the key in the door lock cylinder, does it automatically lock the other doors too? If so, you can find the wire from the door lock cylinder and connect your alarm's door lock output there. The wire should be light green with an orange stripe, somewhere in the driver's kick panel area. (It's a multiplex-resistor system, so if you install the right resistors, you can use the same wire to unlock). The advantage to doing this is that locking the door this way should also turn off the dome light immediately. Not all Intrepids have this feature, however. Otherwise, you can just turn off the open zone chirp in the Viper programming menu. The alarm will sense when the dome light shuts off and start covering the door zone at that point.
It is probably where you are heating the pipes. Heat a little away from joint and let heat draw the solder to it.
