Question for you alarm freaks

[TheJDMpanda]

I currently finished installing a Viper 5204V Alarm and Remote start system. Everything works except that my parking lights don't flash and I connected the white (White= (+) Parking Light Output for the Viper system) to the red/white wire behind the dash dimmer. :/ thanks!

Not the dimmer, you're supposed to tap it to the actual blinker circuit.

In my S14, its a red/blue wire in the IGN harness. Kicker is, there's 2 of those wires in the harness. This is what Toby told me on how to figure out which wire to tap into between the 2.

"It sounds like you are tapped into the passenger side headlight wire... it's also a red/blue in the ignition harness. Remember: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS test the wires before you just go tapping into them assuming it's the correct wire. This is how things get burnt up! You are lucky that you are probably just flashing the headlight when you arm and disarm the system. Simply use a test light or multi-meter... preferably a meter, and probe the red/blue wire that you think is it and see if it goes to 12 volts when you turn the parking light switch on. If it does then that is the wire.DONE! The red/blue headlight wire will only go to 12 volts when you turn the switch all the way to the headlights position."

Dang. Thanks a whole lot man! I asked everything to Toby except for that. I'll see which one it is. Hopefully I didn't burn anything
