Viper alarm and led lights

linkman440 · Jun 23, 2014

Ok so guys I have the viper 5901 alarm that has 5 aux channels. What I want to do is set it up so when I hit an aux channel I can turn on a light bar and then hit the same channel again to turn it off. How would I go about doing that? The viper only puts out a momentary 200 ma pulse. So I can use that to turn on a relay. Is there any way to keep the relay on with no switch power going to it?

sorry for the long post. Any help is much appreciated

Yes you can accomplish what you ask. On one of the aux outputs change it to (latched) which means when you press the aux button of choice it will send out a signal and continue till you press it again to end it.

The aux outputs are only low amperage to drive relays. Use a relay 85 pin input from aux on alarm , 86 and 87 12 volts constant fused 15 amp and pin 30 will be a positive output to the light bar.

Hope this helps you out.

Do you have owners manual or did you buy it online? Viper products recommend professional installation. Some settings you can do manually and some require the dei programmer aka bitwriter to change the settings with.

I've had it installed for about 2 years. I'm just now going to use the aux inputs. I know when I just press it it's pulsed. But when I hold the button it stays on while I'm holding it.

One press is pulsed and press and hold is validity. Google wiring diagram for the alarm might find what you want.

I've got the diagram. I might call them in the morning and see what they say. Thanks for your help sir
