I could not find the previous post but this is the excerpt from it below. I did print it out and still have it. I will have to look at it when I go to hook up the hatch.

CORRECT Wiring for Viper 2101 or HV 211 to use onboard relays: (Corrected on 12/05/2018).
In the RH kick panel there is a connector with large gauge blue, black, grey, and tan wires. Cut the black and blue wires. Connect the Viper wires as follows:

Viper grn/blk to car side blk
Viper blu/blk to car side Lt blu
Viper wht/blk to RH door blk
Viper brn/blk to RH door Lt blu
Viper pur and pur/blk to orn/blk Hot at all Times

Viper lt grn/blk to lt green in door harness (do not cut, just "tap"). This will dis-arm factory alarm when unlocking with the RKE. (To ARM factory alarm still requires locking with inside power lock, then close door. There is no way to wire the Viper to arm the factory alarm with the RKE after the door is closed. The alarm will arm with the RKE if the door is open, locked with the RKE, then closed.)

I also stated that I used the org/blk going to the door switch for power for both the pur - pur/blk and red for the controller power (+).
Blk wire from controller connects to closest ground (-).

I might take the time and make a complete wiring diagram based off the FSM diagram showing the RKE wiring. It might help someone else in the future.

I was going to have IHBD check this over before posting but it does not appear to be a way to add an attachment to a PM. I was not sure about the Red/Wht to Wht for the hatch release but it looks like it should work. Any comments are appreciated. I thought this might help someone in the future.
