Installing python/viper security & keyless entry in '96 xj, looking for assistance
Hey everyone, at my wits end while installing this Python (aka viper) keyless entry remote start security system and turned here in hopes there is an electornics guru that can assist. Searching the site I have found similar unanswered questions from a couple years ago or posts from different era xj's that have different wiring than mine.
I have the system intalled and working, but cannot figure out the keyless entry wiring. I have installed several keyless entry systems before, but they all have been very straightforward and had instructions for exactly how to wire it. These guys at DEI electronics are clever in supporting their installers by not providing any guidance beyond what each wire is for, and say 'for professional installation only' and will not answer any questions. I refuse to pay someone rediculous money to do something I am perfectly capable of handling & I like to know how it is installed, but not knowing exactly how the system works or how they intend it to be set up is a bit frustrating. I can find other peoples wiring online, but there are so many different lock systems out there its becoming a challenge. So, maybe someone knows the DEI system and knows the '96 xj wiring good enough to simplify this seemingly simple four-wire dylemma.
I have the two wires from the DEI unit, one lock and one unlock (blue and green both labeled -500ma); I have the xj door lock & unlock wires clearly exposed (orange/purple and pink/purple). I know which wires are for the lock and which ones are for the unlock; I just dont know how they want them connected...I suspect they want relays in there somewhere but again there are a couple different ways that can be set up. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Get 2 five pin relays and wire like this
Lock
Pin 85= 12v constant with a jumper wire to pin 87
Pin 86= lock trigger from remote start (green)
Pin 30= wire to lock wire in jeep
Unlock
Same as above except pin 86 to blue from remote start and pin 30 to unlock wire on jeep
Let me know if you have any other questions
