Viper 791 Xv Door Lock Problem


Recommended Posts

I actually had a 20% strip put on the windshield so that I could hide the antenna cuz it so long. But ive even tryed arming/disarming from inside the car and it still does it sometimes.

The strip is what's fucking with it. Most tints contain a good chunk of metallic. We tint at my shop also, and tell customers not to put a tint strip where the antenna is because it will casue problems 99% of the time.

is there any sort of metalic tint(factory blue) where the antenna is mounted? if so move it below and try again.

that won't make that big of a deal with the dei 2 way alarms/rs

the problem lies within the remote itself usually sometimes one of the capacitors inside will come loose( give it a light shake if you here the rattle ...)

,with some patience and a steady hand they can be fixed .

Most of them need replaced tho. At least it still arms and disarms .

Oh and a word of advice know how to use your valet switch !

one other thing is those remotes eat batteries they claim a 3 month life but i change mine every month and have had a problem .

I did hear a little rattle so I opened it up and it all looks good from what I see. but could it still be the remote? If it could...where could I get a new one for cheap?
