removing viper alarm system

[carps_accord]

anyone got the 411 on removing a viper alarm system?///thing is driving me nuts goes off without warning even while i drive..need it out

I'd look for the brain and just unhook it. You can leave the wires, if you don't wanna fish em all out. The easiest way to find the brain would be to locate the led and trace the wires from that and see where they go.

huh?

What I think you're saying is that you're getting a viper alarm on Sunday and stories like this are making you question your decision. You then go on to ask if anyone else is having issues with theirs and furthermore should you not make this particular purchase?

Responses are better and more aplenty when the reader can actually read what you are asking.

couple of questions.....

How old is the alarm in question?

did you install it or was it installed at a shop ?


now these things have worked for me in the past
putting the alarm in valet mode will probably be the fastest way to disable the alarm (but you said you wanted to remove it ).

you can also pull the fuses .

as stated above find the brain and pull it , if it was me I would also clean out the wiring as well while your down there.

good luck

hahaha your ignition wire is loose. lol its the yellow wire that connects to the brain. either that its the power wire, if it momentary looses power the alarm will go off randomly. its common on older half assed installs and more common on older style viper alarms.

but if your getting a new alarm then why take out the old one, the shops will take out the old one.

I've got a Viper alarm and love it. It's a 791xv or vx, I don't remember.

the brain like most alarm installs unless you got someone to do a really good job is just under the steering wheel, on the drivers side. snip all those wires out, remove horn thats located in the engine bay, on the right side towards the top usually.

ya and they charge u like 50$ to take out the old one. any alarm with 2 way pager is nice.

only other thing that's been overlooked so far is that there's probably a starter kill relay, if it's a decent Viper system. You'll wanna make sure there isn't a relay installed inline with the starter wire. If there is, take it out and re-connect the two ends of the starter wire in the ignition harness.

Too bad you're having problems, Viper systems are some of my favorite out of all the different kinds I've installed for people over the last 10 years. Accordztech is probably right about the ignition or constant wire connection being loose. Also, could be a loose ground. Check the black wire coming from the brain.

i've been installing vipers for 13 years and never had a problem with them

dei products in general are great

problem usually lies in the installation

[accordztech]

i installed viper alarm systems for 5 years myself, i have found very few that had issues. Usually related to the customers remote.

most shops will charge you to take out the old one, i honestly never did. But i upsell somewhere else to make it worth their wild lol.

if you were in my area ill install your alarm.
