SantaCruzRunner's Build thread.

A while back, I took a few pics of my Rig and put them into Photoshop and changed the flare color to black to see how it looked, and I wasn't sure about it. Now I really want to copy you and paint mine black.

So i am looking at all the wires and stuff trying to install my viper keyless entry, and i found this!

I have keyless entry installed by the dealer in 1996, and it still works. It looks just like that. Unplug the giant cable and then plug it back in. If the siren goes off, then you already have keyless entry. If it doesn't rip that **** out! Haha

i took the horn out of the engine bay so i dont know if it would go off. but i will try when i get home from work.

ok so i unhooked the cables from it and put them back in and the thing went off, and the little light is flashing. so i guess i have keyless already! buuuut i dont have a key fob. i have the one from the viper kit i bought would that work? how do i program it?

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

[t4r4life]

HAHAHAHA I can't believe that worked. You only have what, $50 into the Viper system. If I were you I would keep installing the viper system using there instructions.
