Alarm Help

Was wondering if someone might be able to help me out and if this is in the wrong section please move it for me.

Ok I have a Viper 800 esp alarm on my truck and just installed a set of train horns. Everything is working just fine but what I would like to do is hook up the horns to fire remotely by using the alarm remote. I've looked at the manual for the alarm and on the last page there is a wiring diagram that shows everything but I can't figure out what wire to use for say the third button on the fob. Thanks in advance for your time.

If you have your alarm programmed for "Standard Configuration" which mean button 1 will be your arm/disarm/panic...then button 3 will activate your channel 3 output from the alarm (whatever you have hooked up to the white/blue wire on the primary harness). The primary harness will be your main 12 pin harness (has ground when armed wire, siren wire, ground wire, etc). You will need to use a relay to power your train horns off this wire.

If you have your alarm set up for "Expanded Configuration" which means button 1 will arm, button 2 will disarm...then button three will control the channel 2 output from your alarm (whatever you have hooked up to the red/white wire on the primary harness). If you want the output from channel 2 to be a "+" output, you'll need to hook up the red/white wire on the door lock harness (8 pin harness) to + 12 volts. If you want the output from channel 2 to be a "-" output, hook up that wire to ground.

I had the same alarm in my sentra for a while and know this alarm inside and out, hit me up if you need any further details.
