ok....hmm not sure if i want to spend money again though. is it as easy as just replacing the brain or would i have to re wire everything with installation charges?

and what if the shop isn't REALLL reputable i mean they're ok...but could they mess it up more?

thanks guys

Take it back to the guys that put it in. Let them deal with it, it sounds like the brain might have taken a shit. If it is bad wiring then they should take of it.

That is the #1 reason you pay for a shop to install it, so you don't have to deal with the headache of troubleshooting it :)

thanks for all the support, thanks dr.db .... so if i do decide to swtich the brain out to DEI would i have to rewire everything? not that i would do it myself but if the shop found a problem with the brain and wanted to replace it, i could just pay for a viper one or something but no installation cost because it'd cost the same to put it in as another skytek one would?

thanks guys

I had this problem before the ignition was not turned completely off so the alarm thought the key was still in the ignition and did nit want to lock the keys in the car. Sounds stupid but that was it. I would check to see if all of your dome lights are off and if your door pins are working right. When you push the disarm is the alarm still trying to unlock the doors?
