I have a Viper 550 ESP. Remote start has always worked fine. Last year I picked up my vehicle from a mechanic, and I forgot the viper keyfob to turn off the alarm. When I started the car, the alarm was going, so the mechanic pulled the fuse on the main 12v constant wire.
Its been a year and I want to get the alarm back in order. I put the fuse back in, and it immediately remote-starts the car, with parking lights blinking (this is normal).
Normally, then I put the key in and when I turn it to ON position, and this tells the alarm I am manually taking over the ignition.. so the parking lights stop blinking.
Then I should be able to turn off engine with the key. Instead, turning the Key to ON, does not turn off the blinking parking lights, and and I cannot shut the vehicle off, unless I pull the fuse on the alarm.
