Air Conditioning & Remote Start A few weeks ago I took my car to the local Viper alarm dealer and had the Viper 791vx alarm installed on my car. I now also have the remote start also working. Everything seemed just peachy, until....
One day I noticed that my air conditioning is not coming on when I use the remote start or the turbo timer. Everything else works fine, I know it probably has something to do with the secondary ignition or something like that. I checked all my settings on the alarm and they are all correct. So I know it has to be a wire or something the alarm shop did not hook up.
Can someone tell me exactly what wire(s) from the car and from the alarm that I need to hook up in order for my air conditioner to work with the remote start?

I think we have multiple accessory wires. There's a good chance that the shop only hooked up one of the accessory wires. If so, you'll need another relay and some wiring.
Sorry I don't know the exact wires, but check out www.the12volt.com and you'll find the info you need.

If you want any tips in doing the remote start for an M6 let me know.
Back to my question -- Someone said that I should hook up the brown wire from the steering column to the oragne wire on the alarm.... Any feedback?

Thanks for your help!
Well you need to leave the A/C **** left on when you shut the car off.
Also have fun with the M6 remote start, my friend had one on his Mustang and not once but twice when it was on a lift at a shop some idiot messed with the key fob and it remote started and came right off the rack. Needless to say he will never get a remote start in any of his stick cars.

To quote Alan Alda in M*A*S*H, "No need to point out the incredibly obvious, the merely obvious will be sufficient."
