hi im just wondering if anyone knows if there is a switch or something to turn off the alarm if the battery in my keyless dies. its a pretty old viper system on my 00 teg. if i try and use my key to unlock the car, the alarm goes off and there is no way to start my car...this could really suck if the battery dies in the remote or something. i just need to know if there is a hidden switch or something thanks

 

Yeah, the valet switch will take care of it. If this switch isn't installed you'll need to pick up a DEI valet switch and plug it in to the brain.

After that, just open car with alarm going off, hold the switch, and put the key in the On position to disable alarm.

Note that it's pretty well recommended to NOT keep the valet switch attached for this exact reason. A good bit of us just plug it in to program options, and then rip it back out. :-)

 

is it easy to take in and out? and would i be able to find one since the viper system i have isnt even sold anymore...

 

anyone know if all viper systems came with these?

 

Yes, all viper systems came with them. Look under the dash and see if you can see the alarm brain-poor install. Look on the brain for a two wire pin coming out the blue port. Trace this back to the push buton switch. If not program for a diffrent pulse count it should be the factory default on press with the ignition on.

 

thanks do you have a picture? that would greatly help too.

 

What is the model of the Viper alarm?? 94

 

thats the thing...im not really sure, it came with the car when i bought it and ive tried looking for it on the viper page and whatnot but cant find it...ill try and find a picture of it on google or something

 

sorry if its small but i think this is the one i have... its the 600 esp... im not 100% but it seems to be the only viper system with the square remotes like i have

 

I don't think Viper/DEI has updated their valet switch setup in a while, so 2-pin off any DEI should work. I could be mistaken.

Luckily, they're pretty cheap regardless:

The model number will be on the alarm brain. 94

 

well i found the brain and when i was looking around there i found the switch, thanks for all your posts though they helped me understand more

 

Glad to help, now ready the post above and redo your alarm the right way
