    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 3

    Something about the wiring diagram just doesn't quite make sense to me. It looks like the key gets power from battery and sends that power down through the push button, which then goes through the clutch switch and to the starter relay. That being said, the BCM and PCM also get in on the game...

    Gen 3 Interior Top of Door Trim Failure

    You might post on the Facebook page as well. You'll likely get a lot more eyes seeing it there than you will here. The forums used to be a lot more active, but they have turned into a bit more of an archive and tech section than the social scene that they used to be. A lot of owners are also...

    Stock motor mounts, Gen 1

    I know on the aftermarket mounts a lot of people will even just grind that little button off on one side because they can be a real bear to install. The nice thing about them the aftermarket ones as well is that they are fully interchangeable since they don't use the finger safety design, but...

    Wow, good thing you did. Not much left of that one at all.

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 2

    I highly doubt it wouldn't start with just the low fuel indicator on. I know I've run mine pretty close to the edge several times and that light normally comes on with a few gallons left in the tank, so would hope it wouldn't disable anything. That being said, if that signal isn't making it...

    I ask for help

    Do you have a product called "Heet" over there or something similar (https://www.goldeagle.com/product/iso-heet-fuel-line-antifreeze-injector-cleaner/)? It's an additive you can put in gas that helps break down the water in fuel. I have a 71 Vette that years ago I remember being able to see...

    Treating Faded Seats

    I've never really managed to find any good care info for the insert parts of the seats. I imagine they are either suede or alcantara. You can find some info on how to deal with suede, but less so for alcantara. Generally speaking if it has sat outside I would assume it has just sun bleached...

    I ask for help

    Ah, I guess I kind of take for granted that what I'm buying is actually what it's supposed to be, but I suppose that's a good point. I live in a large enough town I'd never think to worry about it, but I could see filling up in a small rural town on a road trip potentially getting a bad tank.

    Potential New GEN3 Owner?

    Odds are the batteries in your sensors have probably just finally died. The estimated lifespan on them is only 7 years I think, though I got 10+ out of mine. That being said, there are a couple of fixes. You can buy a brand new set of OEM sensors and reprogram the module in the car to the new...

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash

    Also, off topic to some degree, but you can buy TPMS sensors that you can clone IDs into to match your OEM ones so you don't have to reprogram the module in the car. I have a set of race rims and street rims and have cloned sensors in both now. Originally just had them in the race rims, but...

    I ask for help

    If you're super concerned I would just run the 100. I doubt you'd ever have any problem with it and I doubt Dodge would have tuned the car to require fuel that wasn't readily available at petrol stations. If it's an actual European market car to begin with and not an import as well I'd be even...

    Stock motor mounts, Gen 1

    I would think the AB mount should be fine. If it's the same part number (minus the letters at the end) that usually just means it's a revision and would follow typical supersession rules. I only really get concerned when the entire number changes, though even then sometimes it can still be a...

    I ask for help

    Looks like I was a tad off on my info. US uses the (RON + MON) / 2 method for calculating octane. The best I can tell from online searches, European 95 is something like 90 here. Same fuel, just different ways of rating it. What's available around you? I say "European rating", but...

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash

    Yeah, my first guess as well was something not being fully connected or plugged in at all. I don't think you'd need every module connected for the car to start, but in the modern world of controller based vehicles, there is a network running through everything and having a break in that network...

    I ask for help

    I don't think many of us do any kind of fuel additives for octane. Octane is a tricky subject between the US and Europe though, so hard to say what's really needed. I think the factory tunes for the "lowest high grade" available if that makes any sense. What I mean by that is in the US the...

    Corsa mufflers installed and fluid change

    Admittedly my liners are probably on the looser side anyway after 130,000 miles, lol. I know some people will just drill out a hole in the liner for easier future access.

    Gen 3 Interior Top of Door Trim Failure

    Very nice! This is an issue that has plagued the later gens for a long time, so I'm sure you'll see some interest pick up one the word gets around. Mine aren't super bad yet, but it does catch my arm every once in a while when I have the window down and rest my arm on the top while driving. I...

    Corsa mufflers installed and fluid change

    I've actually had reasonable luck just pushing the fender out of the way for the front bolt. The rear one I can reach in from behind on the side sill and get to okay, but the front one is too close to the fender liner to get a socket on. I just stick a plastic trim stick in between the fender...

    New battery technology!

    Yeah, I think these have been around for a little bit, though you don't hear about them too much. Braille was another lightweight brand I remember back in my college days. We ran one on our Formula SAE car for the lightweight aspect of it. Doesn't necessarily have the neat "reserve charge"...

    Help... might have to sell... my back is killing me!

    You might be able to do something with the suspension to help out a bit, but ultimately it is still a high performance sports car, so only so much you can get out of it. The stock shocks tend to be on the softer side as well, though many of the aftermarket ones will let you tune the damping to...

    GEN 3 NO MUFFLER ?

    Yeah, I think you'd have a hard time matching the Cobra no matter what you do. The Viper is just a very unique engine sound and exhaust can only alter it so much. Old V8s and chambered exhaust were a wonderful combination for sound, and Ford V8s seemed to have a special sound all their own...

    Potential New GEN3 Owner?

    The comparison to a motorcycle is probably one of the best I've heard for the Viper. Both are extremely capable and high performance in the correct hands, and also deathtraps in the wrong hands. Respect the machine and learn its limits and you should have years of enjoyment. I suppose the...

    GEN 3 NO MUFFLER ?

    Generally speaking the Viper is pretty stout out of the box and unless you really dig into things I doubt you'd see much for performance improvements. It kind of reminds me of what my dad used to say about Mopars in the 60s. Other brands had long lists of aftermarket parts, but Mopar stuff was...

    2008 Gen IV Total speaker Upgrade.

    The main problem I have is that I've got a convertible and the rear trunk is a completely separate compartment that's sealed off from the passenger compartment. I had a small JL Audio W series sub in the car when I bought it. They originally had it in a footwell box on the passenger side, but...

    GEN 3 NO MUFFLER ?

    That is the two chamber exhaust system I had in mind that I mentioned, lol. I thought it was Magnaflow that made it, but I'm not sure. Pretty sure neither is a cat and doesn't look like factory cars are in there either. They would be at the very front, one before the turnout inside the frame...
