remove aftermarket alarm

The Internet, though, has a large number of web sites where you can buy service manuals and schematics from bookstores, publishers, and other collectors.

Here is just a sampling of what sites are out there:

If the heater blower circuit was not connected to the bypass relays of the remote starter unit, then it will not work. Some lower grade aftermarket remote starters do not have relay bypass for the accessory circuits (heater and A/C) in order to save a buck or two. If it is a factory remote start, then the heater should work.

You need to call Viper and talk to their tech support. It sounds like the viper is actually disabling the starter. If you have all of your paperwork from the alarm system there should be a book that can help walk you through the reprogramming mode. Maybe your key fob is not synced to the alarm system. I have a clifford alarm which is still a viper. I have to press the star button 3 times in a row if I want my car to start remotely. hope this helps some.

check fuseable links

Try spraying a little bit of WD40 into the key hole and see if it will turn.

I really think you have some other problem going on that you think is the starter. Maybe a starter relay. Does it just not start when it is warm and after it sits it starts? Does you remote starter switch bypass the key switch and go straight to the starter and then it aways cranks over. That would indicate to me that something is either wrong with the key switch or wiring to the starter relay or solenoid.

Try starting with xmission in "neutral". You've been using the PARK only for 17 yeas, right?

You need to have the starter removed and have the starter contacts replaced. They are burnt. This is a common problem.

Look under the driver side seat for a small black box. This is the control for the remote/alarm system. Check to see that it is not wet. Open it up & inspect the circuit board. Are any of the circuits corroded/greenish powder on them? If so, you need to replace this box. Quite a common failure. But, there IS hope. You CAN start the car without the aid of the remote since you lost it. Put the key in the ignition, and, if the lights start flashing, CYCLE the key on-off 5 times. This action will defeat the alarm, and the car will start. This is provided in case the battery in the remote goes dead on you.
