Default DEI Tilt Sensor Problem

Hey,
I just installed the DEI 507m tilt sensor to my Viper 791xv alarm, but its not working. Can anyone tell me if I did it wrong? I connected the red, blue and orange wires from the tilt sensor to the red, blue and orange wires on the main alarm harness.
Thanks

which wire on the brain did you hook them up to... cause they dont have direct inputs for it...

I connected the red (+ constant power) from the sensor to the brain's red (+ constant power input). The orange (- turn-on input) from the sensor to the brain's orange (- 500mA armed output). The blue (- trigger output) from the sensor to the brain's blue (- multiplexed input, zone 4). All of the wires were on the primary harness of the alarm's brain.

ok ok... check your wires at the tilt sensor itself... make sure your getting 12 volts at the plug... and when you arm the alarm your getting ground... then if you are... tilt the sensor ever so slightly and see if your getting a ground back out of it....

thats a good place to start...

Hey I got it to work! I found out that the power wire wasn't connected cause the t-tap didn't connect to one of the wires.
Thanks
