I think my alarm just died today.

- The remote still works, on the power door lock.

- The light stays on, when the engine is off.

- Does not make any sound at all.

- Able to start car even with alarm on.

I got a Viper 550 alarm with ignition disabler, 4 years old on a 97 Civic.

My question is: Is alarm fixable? Or do I have to get a new one? I need to know the baiscs so when I take it in, they don't try to sell me a new one when I may not need one.

Thanks

 

It sounds like you accidentally put the alarm in valet mode. You can take it out of valet by pressing button I for one second and then button II for one second and then press button I again for a second (I>II>I). The procedure should be in your manual. You can download the manual from DEI's website too just in case you lost it. Good luck!

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It worked, and it's back to normal.
