Viper won't remote start and arm/disarm only works... (by 2 users)


posted by Microluv on Jul 07, 2008


Hello, I think I have a Viper 5900 and I noticed a while back that the arm/disarm was not working most of the time. I also noticed that the remote start was also not working. I would push the button, but then the transmitter would beep as if it was out of range (even though I'm right next to the car). It's only a little over 2 years old and was installed by BestBuy. Right now I can arm/disarm it only if I point at a certain spot and I'm right up on the car. Help!!!

Yes, I've changed the batteries a few times already. I used to have rechargeables in it and then I thought that might be part of the problem so I changed to regular batteries (which didn't change anything it seems).

Also, I started having this problem a short while before finding out that the battery in my car was going bad. I have since changed the car battery and I'm still having the problem.
I have the same problem.

Greetings Microluv,

Simple question, have you changed the battery in your remote lately? I was having similiar issues with my remote start and it was a simple matter of changing the batteries in the remote.

I figured lets eliminate the easy stuff first. :)
