Can someone help me? I have a 791xv installed in my car. It has been working fine up until the other day. It was a professional install about 3 months ago. My problem is I remote started my car, went out to the car and hit the unlock button. The second I hit the unlock button the car shut off and I haven't been able to start the car or get any communications between the remote and the alarm. I checked all the fuses I could find but none are blown. Any ideas? I would like at the least to be able to start my car so I can take it in to get looked at once I have time later this week.

Thank you

Hi! I recently purchased a 94 model Nissan 300ZX and i don't know which Viper system is installed. There was a problem or something with the remote but the alarm got activated. The alarm has been screaming its head off so i had to disconnect the battery. The car won't even start with the alarm activated! How on earth do i temporarily disarm the alarm system so that i can start my car!! Where might the valet button be located?? Or can i disconnect the system? Please advise!

Wassam Khan,

The model number will be on the main unit under your dash. To put the unit into valet mode, turn the ignition on and press the valet button which should be under your dash as well, mounted on a plastic panel or zip-tied to a wiring harness. If you can't find it, locate the main unit, look for a blue plug with two wires in it and follow it to the switch.

Hello everyone, I had a Viper 5900 installed on my 06 Silverado 2500HD Diesel. Every so often when I start the truck it says on the screen that I need to have my brake system checked and my ABS and E-Brake light remain on until I pull away then the lights and warning message goes away. Does anyone know what would be causing this with the Viper 5900 remote start? Thanks for your help!

James DeBello,

It sounds like you are missing one of your 2nd or 3rd ignition or accessory wires. Whoever installed it might not have hooked up all of the wires required to power up the computer in the car and that is why you are getting error codes.

For ignition you should have the PINK ignition wire and WHITE 2nd ignition wire and for accessories you should have the ORANGE accessory and BROWN 2nd accessory wires hooked to the remote start. You might not need the BROWN wire but you definately need to have the WHITE wire hooked up.

Skater Bum, thanks for the info. Im taking this to the shop who did the install. Is that normal if the wires are not connected correctly that the " BRAKE SYSTEM " error code only comes on somtimes? I thought if its a electrical problem the error code should show everytime the truck starts. What do you think? Thanks again!

James DeBello,

A remote start basically duplicates the key turning in the steering column so it has to power electrically whatever the key powers manually. So, if the remote start isn't powering everything that it should, it will kick out error codes and then when you trun the key on, the key powers what it's supposed to and clears the codes.

I have a Viper alarm system in my 1986 Camaro. It has been at the body shop for a year and now they tell me it doesn't start or get any power. He believes it is related to the alarm. I'd like to not only disarm the alarm but uninstall it altogether. Any advice to get my car started and bypass the alarm? He also said he gets no power to the car whatsoever....is that an alarm issue?

Kurtis,

If you aren't getting ANY power to the car, then it is a car problem (i.e. dead battery). If you have power to everything else EXCEPT the starter, then it may be an alarm problem. Most alarms just interupt the starter wire also known as "starter kill." More expensive alarms also interupt the ignition wires as another form of protection. But, with either of these two systems, you should still have power to the car's accessories (i.e. headlights, dome lights, brake lights, etc.).

Kurtis,

If the car has no power, you don't need to disarm the system. To uninstall it, just unplug the wires going to the brain box, follow to wire to where they are connected, cut the wire and tape off the exposed wires in the car. You'll probably have to reconnect the starter wire near the steering column.

I should have been more clear. What is the model of the Viper system? The number on the remote control is meaningless because you can use the same remote with other systems but the programming of the system is specific. You can find the model on the main unit under the driver's side of the dash.

After the truck rolls 25 feet for so the error goes away and everything is fine. Does anyone else have this same problem or know how to cure it? Thanks!

Turn the key to igniton and press the valet switch under the dash.




James DeBello,

It sounds like you may have to diode isolate your 791XV's brake input wire. It may be feeding back into the vehicle's computer generating the error code.

Hy to everyone here.
I too have problems with my 791xv viper...
I cannot operate my remote...lock/unlock does not work, but remote is not defective because the remote programing (vibrate,illuminate,etc...) work. Luckily my car is in the garage and window was down, so i discconected battery opened the door then coneccted battery so alarm wouldnt go off.
Ive tried disarming the car with the valet button, but i dont know how many times i have to press the valet button after ignition on, so ive tried 1 time didnt work, ign off then back on try pressing 2 times didnt work...and so on till i got to 5 but it still didnt work. Ive checked all the wiring all is in properly, ive also tried the other functions with the valet button but none seem to work.
I am really upset because now i cant drive the car anywhere, cant even start it.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do ? Does the fact that i had door and hood open all the time make any difference when tring to disarm with valet button ?
Please someone help me!

If the remote won't program to the system, remove the fuses from the system, usually under the driver's side of the dash, and take it to an authorized DEI retailer and have them diagnose the problem.

Dear Sir,

I recently purchased a used vehicle. Through some investigation - I now understand that my vehicle is equipped with a Viper 300 ESP system. I have a LED near my steering column that is always RED. According to the documentation - this means that my system is in VALET mode. Unfortunately - I do not know how exit VALET mode. I have checked, and checked, and I do not see a VALET switch anywhere in the vehicle. Today, I stopped by the local VIPER dealer - and he gave me a switch for this system free of charge.

With what I have told you - do you think there is anything I can do to reset my system - and or - hook up this new VALET switch?

I am supposed to see a 1 sec blink on the LED - but I do not see it. Instead it is SOLID red.

I appreciate any replies - I thank-you in advance for your time.

I've got a viper 350HV system and I have the Directed trunk release solenoid. The solenoid works fine with the included push button. I'm trying to wire it to the AUX button for the keyfob. As I understand it, the WHITE/BLUE wire on the brain box sends a 200mA signal when the AUX button is pressed. How should I go about this? I know I'll need a relay, but with what specs?

The car doesnt have any factory alarm and I followed the installation instruction for the alarm. I've connected the white wire (H1-white) to the wire in that activates the relay for the park lights.

I have a viper alarm in my 1986 camaro that was installed about 11 years ago. It still works but the siren doesn't work and at this point I want to simply disarm and remove the whole thing. How do I do it? I didn't install it and have no idea where things are wired to etc. I tried to disarm it and couldn't do that either after trying for a 1/2 hour by using the button under the dash with the ignition on.

Kurtis,

Find the brain unit under the driver side of the dash. It should look kinda out-of-place and say Viper on it. Basically all you have to do is unplug the main unit and reconnect the large yellow wire that was cut on your steering column if you had starter-kill installed.

If you want to completely remove the wires, just follow each wire to where it is connected to the vehicle wiring, cut it off, and tape up the exposed end of the vehicle wiring.

Everyone,
I finally fixed the problem on my 2000 miata about the park lights not flashing during arming. the culprit was a blown fuse on the wire (white wire). the system now arms and disarms great!

But I have another problem. If the alarms gets triggered by a any door switch the system's LED will flash the corresponding zone that triggered the alarm. It says in the manual that the flashing of the led should be cleared once the ignition is turned on. Unfortunately mine doesnt clear up and it stays blinking (trying to display the zone that triggered the alarm).

is there any way to clear this led message besides powering down the brain?

thanks in advance!

Ok, so I didn't see an issue that had to deal with my alarm system around, but if there is one, then I'm sorry for taking your time.

My alarm system is the Viper 350HV

Basically recently today I accidentally armed my vehicle while I had the door open and ever since then the LED light has been on. It never blinks or anything, it just stays on with the blue color that it should usually flash.

I don't know if thats what caused the issue, because I have accidentally armed my vehicle before in the same manner and had no problems at all, so I don't know what is up.

Also when I lock and unlock my vehicle it doesn't chirp, so not only does the LED stay on, but the alarm system doesn't chirp when locking and unlocking it...

Any answers to this?
Thanks in advance, all the help is greatly appreciated!!!

http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/ig/viper/N562V_07-05.pdf

Try reprogramming your remote control to the system. The instructions are on page 27.




shawn,

What is the model of the alarm system? It should be on the top side of the brain box under the dash of the car. The number on the remote control is just the part number for the remote and is used for several systems.






Akiel Malion,

You put your system into Valet Mode. Here's a link to the Owner's Guide for the 350HV:

http://www.directeddealers.com/manuals/og/viper/G426V_07-05.pdf

The information you are looking for is on page 13.

Ok thanks a bunch. Apparently though while trying to figure out the problem before I just got this I was locking and unlocking my vehicle as I had seen that the light was no longer on anymore and on the passenger side door it sounded as if a motor was running everytime it was unlocked and the sound got higher in pitch as though it was winding up.

Could this be part of the same problem?

Thanks.

Quick question for the guru here :-)
Hope you had a good vacation!
I am about to have a 3202v Viper installed. I am considering getting a 508d proximity alarm installed with it, or later, not sure yet.
However, my question is: When the 508d is installed, ideally I would like to be able to fully arm the car without proximity with one button push, and have the proximity used as well with a second button push. Is there a way for the installer to do that? Or, as I have heard, it may be possible to use -full- alarm on one button push, and then turn off the proximity with 1+ more buttons pushes. Which way will it work? Thanks!

Akiel Malion,

No, it doesn't sound related. Your door lock may just be stuck or getting old.





Warren R,

The system should be able to bypass a sensor with an additional press of a button right out of the box. You'll have to check your owner's manual for details on how to do this.

Well I got my truck out of valet mode. I couldn't find the dang button that they put in there, so that was part of the problem, ha ha...

As for the door lock. The issue seemed to clear itself up. I almost thought it was a messed up sylanoid, because my truck is a basically brand new 06 silverado with hardly any miles and engine time on it, so I doubted it was a door issue.

Thanks again though!

I have a viper 3002 and when i hit the unlock button on my transmitter, all the doors are unlocked. What feature or how do i program a feature to make it so the first time the button is pushed it only unlocks the drivers, and then the others

Spike Nick,

Is that how you had it installed? It's not a simple programming change, it's an actual install modification.

Joseph Mccain,

It'll take you a while but if your Dad there to help, you should be able to do it yourself.

I have a 1997 Suburban with Viper 300+. My battery recently went bad. I replaced battery and now when I advance the key to engage starter, seems all power is cut to vehicle. I now only see 6 volts on the hot wire to viper harness and alarm is barely audible. I can disconnect, then reconnect battery - alarm goes crazy. I disable alarm with remote, turn key to engage starter - same thing happens. I have removed the battery, starter and alternator - all check good. I have also checked all fuses/wires in car - all good. How can I isolate the vehicle electical system from the viper so I can troubleshoot the problem without the alarm intervening? Any help is appreciated!

Robert Hughes,

All you should have to do is unplug your Viper 300+ and reconnect your starter wire, usually yellow on Chevy's, and that should take the system out of the loop.

K I have read everything on this posting and still have not been able to resolve my problem. I have a 97 GT Mustang, and it will not turn over, wife drove it about a week ago and the battery went low gave it a jump like always and now the damn "starter kill" is activated and wont let me turn on the car. This alarm came with the car I cant get to the brain cuz whoever installed it was very crafty and flexible. So i was able to do the over ride with the ignition key and door open - no start, did the valet trick - no start. Please any suggestions were moving out this week and need to be out by 31July, thanks for any other suggestions.

marco carmona,

If you think that it is the starter kill, reconnect the WHITE/PINK starter wire in the ignition harness located on the steering column under the dash. If it still does not turn over with this wire reconnected, you may have an immobilizer issue with the car. Start with the wire and let me know what happens.

Thanks for the information. I was able to isolate the alarm from the car electronics and quickly discovered a bad ground. All is well. Thanks again.

skater bum,
i have a bad boor switch on the driver side.so that means my car thinks the driver's door is still open.would that be the reason why the alarm goes off?i tried reading the manual.but all it gave me was a headache.maybe im a dumbass.
i got the alarm used and the person who installed it for me said i had to get a new remote because it would arm and disarm the alarm but, when the alarm goes off it doesnt page the remote.would that also be the reason?
thank you in advance for your help.i really appreicate it.
