View Full Version : Alarm System

Hi...
I have a Viper 3000 alarm for my 87 Fiero GT, which up until recently
worked fine. The problem now is - when I arm or disarm the alarm - my
parking lights and brakes are supposed to flash on and off - but they
don't. They both work as I checked that first -
Can anyone shed any light on what could cause this and how t fix it?
Many thanks....

Do the parking lights work with your light switch?
If they do then the problem is the alarm
On the main alarm brain there is a white wire that is used for parking light
flash.
There should be a 7.5 or 10 amp fuse on that white wire
If the parking lights do not work with the light switch
then it is probably your parking light fuse in the vehicle fuse box.
I think your fuse box is on the drivers side underdash near the firewall

Yes - The parking lights work with my light switch -
On this main alarm brain you mentioned - any idea where it normally
would be? i.e., under the dash, in the engine area, etc ??
