I need to know the number of horn honks at each report step below...

Hey Steve!
I got a letter from you about my recent joining the VCA! Thanks for this help but i need your number please PM or i can call when i get home!

Here's a brief description of the 1999 & 2000 Viper "Alarm System Horn Chirp Pattern Indenification" taken from the "Viper Body Electrical Student Workbook" (the "merged edition" as I call it... which features BOTH Gen I and Gen II Vipers through and including the 2000 model year):

"Horn Chirp: Chirps once on pressing fob lock button then arms immediately and dash top LED begins to flash. Flashes park/tail lamps twice on unlock. Chirps three times on unlock if alarm has been active (alarming)) since armed. (This is a tamper alert.) New, more rounded fobs will be introduced as a 1999 model-year running change in approximately July."

Thank you Steve! You have been a great help on this the phone call walk through has helped me to narrow down the operation of the stock unit. now to tie into that for the aftermarket system...
