Hello everyone. I just moved up here recently (Fairfax) from Myrtle Beach and not too familiar with well known shops that have good reps. I have a Viper 791xv alarm on my car. But more and more frequently when i arm it, i have to push the arm button like 10-15 time to work, as well as all the other feature on the alarm. On the remote it shows its sending the signal, just seems the car isnt receiving it. So if anyone else might know what me problem is that would be great. But other than that anyone know a good place that will not rape me just to get this looked at and them really knowing what they are doing? ie i dont want to have best buy look at the problem.....

thanks.

 

How old is your alarm? I am no expert but maybe you need your antenna thats receiving the page to be changed. Or maybe it could be a simple thing as replacing the battery on the pager. I would try these things first. If the battery change doesnt work then try resyncing your remote to your alarm. There should be instructions online to how to do this.

 

Could very well be the battery. Start with the simplest option and work up from there.

 

The alarm is only about 2.5 years old. and i did change the battery out and that wasnt the problem. but i didnt try the re-syncing thing. i will try that tonight and keep you guys posted.

 

ok i got home alittle bit ago.....put a new battery in the remote. unplugged the responder for the time period that it said to in order to resync it. plugged everything back together and guess what..... STILL DIDNT WORK lol.... is there a way or something i could hook the responder up to to see if its bad. or is there a shop that anyone recommends to do this kinda thing around my area?
