I noticed recently that when I park my car and arm the alarm with the hazards on my alarm will go off (takes like 10seconds) and I can disarm and rearm it and it will just do it again. is this normal or was there a wiring error somewhere?? I have the viper 300esp

Is it just your parking lights going off or your whole alarm with siren going off? Could be a bad pinswitch or something like that to make the alarm go off, but if the sirens not going off, and the lights are flashing, then you might have some probs with the alarm brain...HOw bout some more info?

Check your dood pin switches. I had to replace my drivers side, cause sometimes my pin stuck and didn't turn on the domelights, but they can short out too. Also, depending on how the alarm was hooked up, the hatch pin can also trigger the alarm too if they tapped into the wire that catches both pins. maybe a faulty shock sensor?? After the alarm goes off, turn it off, then look at the red led, and count the number of flashes. I believe if the shock went off it should flash 2 times, and if a door pin, should flash 3 times. See what that does for ya...

I am not sure that it is a pin that is the problem. I have the Viper 550 and when my hood pin was acting up I would always get a second chirp when setting my alarm. When you set it you should only get 1 chirp. If you get a second then it means that one of the sensors is tripped. That should be how you would know if it is a sensor or not. I will try to set my alarm with my hazards on and see what happens.

i wouldnt think it was a faulty shock sensor or hood pin because it doesnt go off if for no reason when the hazards arent on. When the hazards arent on its acts as it should and goes off if it is bumped or a door opens, etc. With the hazards on I can arm it (just one chirp) and withing 10 seconds it goes off, i can then disarm it and then rearm it again with the same result. I got to the point that whenever I need to leave my car and put the hazards on that I put the alarm in valet mode.

Ahhhhhh.....I see what you are saying now. There are only 2 ways to wire up the parking lights on our cars. There is a positive wire,and there is a negative wire, but i have never heard of anything like that before! When that does happen, disarm your alarm, and count the number of flashes from the alarm's red blinky light. Its a diagnostic to tell you if your alarm went off while you were away. I believe 2 flashes is your shock sensor, and 3 flashes is a door pin. Where is your shock sensor mounted?? It might be possible that it is mounted very close to the relay that controls your hazzards. The relay "clicking" might be enough to set off your shock sensor.I remember if my sensor was turned up, my ticking exaust when its cooling down, would set off the alarm.I guess it could be possible that its backfeeding through your parking light wire when the hazzards are on, but i have never seen something like that happen before. Check that out, and find out what zone is setting off your alarm by looking at the red led after you disarm it....Thats all i can really think of for now...

Ok, i just tried my alarm out with the hazzards on, and it didn't make my alarm go off. The hazard button makes the turn signal flashers click on an off around the center console area and my shock is pretty close to it too. I'm using the positive parking light wire on my setup too. The car's factory relay for the parking lights in in the engine bay under the fuse cover, i hear it clicking for it there. So i'm kinda out of ideas for ya, but just find out how many blinks are coming from the red light for your alarm and we can go from there....
