TIPS for the Gen5 Viper
(from a 2015 GT owner/install)
Remove the driver seat for easier access
. (5-10mins). Accomplish this by removing
the (2) 15mm bolts at seat-front base, remove (2) 15mm nuts at seat-rear track end, and
unplug the wiring harness (if you have electric seats) from the rear. (Position the seat
mid-track with the seatback in a vertical position before unplugging harness). Wrap the
rear track with a microfiber towel(s) to prevent any possible moving mishaps.
Dry-Fit the harness
. The harness has (3) pairs of wires that exit the harness, and are
separated down the length of the harness. Place the harness high above all pedals over
the aluminum brace so the wires for the Accelerator and Brake drop directly down, and
the Clutch wires which are at the end, will pass thru the firewall above/thru the current
ECU master harness grommet.
Keep the wires away from moving parts
. When you lay out the harness, and drop the
wires near their destination, keep them away from any moving components AND
mentally think of dropping a wire “down” from above and the WireTap receiver should be
facing “upward” if possible. Keep the off-angle connections minimal at best. (On the
Viper, the moving pedal assembly and cables make the areas tighter than most cars)
Give yourself extra room on the Viper’s wire loom ends.
Carefully cut-up on the
loom sheathing to open up the wire spacing a little. This gives more room for the
WireTap to be installed w/o stressing the wires.
WireTap Seating.
Make sure that when you clamp the WTap onto each wire that the
wire is clearly in the jaw channel before you close the tap itself. Also, when you slide the
AUTO-
Blip connector onto the Wtap… it must be 100% pushed onto the tap and to its
base. (This ensures a 100% clean connection between car and AUTO-Blip controller.
