Install Viper 5204v on 98 civic ex, car wont start

98 civic ex. MT
I just got done installing a viper 5204 in the car. But now not only does the remote start not work, but I cant start it with the key either. When I try to start it normally with a key there are no relays clicking, nothing. However when i press the remote start button I can hear relays clicking in the viper 'brain' but not in the car itself. Any ideas?

Either a bad control unit or you hooked up something wrong. I would start with the wires connected to the ignition.

Also, when the key is in the acc2 position, its almost like the viper has no power (i cant lock/unlock and the button on the antenna does nothing)

I am going to say that is the issue also. Recheck your work.
