Have an 09 ACR bone stock.
Had an issue with the car being slow to catch when starting then failing to start all together. Would just crank and not catch.

Swapped the fuel pump relay and it started up.

Since lost wipers and cigarette lighter. But all fuses are good.

Any thoughts as to where to look other then checking every ground in the car. Anyone deal with anything similar? This is a first for me and forum search didn't turn up anything. Looking for a suggestion as to where to start.

I had a short to ground that did similar things in my car. Found a wire rubbing on the frame in the passenger footwell.

put 2 new relays in and fixed the problem. Sort of concerned what caused 2 relays to fry out. Anyone ever burn through multiple relays?

Someone mentioned that these Vipers have Lucas Electric wiring and that they are garbage. Not sure on the validity. Love your videos by the way :)

Who is someone? Lucas is English. There isn't any English wiring on a Viper... I just love the comments the uninformed make. Especially the term (these vipers):lmao:

Jeez bite my head off. Obviously I wasn't positive and simply relayed what I was told. I never said this is 100% accurate and to take it to the bank. Relax bud. Have a drink Gen 4 Police of THESE VIPERS.
