Command start install... Cannot remote start unless parking lights are on
Hi all
I'm in the process of this very tedious install... Viper 5900
I got it to start via the remote. Sometimes it cranks for the full programmed time, most other times it doesn't. The parking lights flash during crank. If it cranks during a flash, it starts. If not, it cuts out as if a ground is missing or loose. I made sure my engine grounds are good, and the alarm is grounded well too.
If I put my parking lights on and attempt to start it, it will crank and start effortlessly.
I retained the clutch safety switch and connected the gear indicator selector safety switch wire to the e-brake for safety.
Coming from the relay... Green and purple interrupt the starter wire, orange is hooked up to white/red, red is hooked up to optional accessory spot above the fuses on the fuse box. Should the 8 gauge red wire be hooked up somewhere else? can it be hooked up to the same power source as the alarm brain???
Thanks for looking..

Alright so I've been messing around with this thing aaaaallll day.
I never wanted to know this much about command starts lol.
for whatever reason, parking lights are shorting out the command start. I don't know how. I want to find out whyyyy...
The parking lights blink as the command start engages. I disconnected them @ the alarm brain, and now it will start no problem. If anyone has any idea, that would be neat-o.
