Sounds like the tach connection has been loosened or slipped out of position. Here is a link for installation manuals, Will help in location and inspection of tach wire.

I had to replace the battery in my car and now my remote will not do anything lock or unlock the doors start the vehicle or pop the trunk what do i do?

Reprogram the remote: turn ignition on, press and release valet switch one time. Press and hold valet switch. While holding valet switch, press lock button on remote. The alarm should chirp to confirm entry into the programming mode (when you press and hold the valet button) and when you press the lock button. Turn ignition off. Test remote.

I have a viper 791xv carstarter/alarm the battery had to be replaced on the car and the alarm works but the remote sart won't start the car on key pad it shows it 's start but then it beeps and is gone...

The parking light flashes are a diagnostic report to alert you to the reason the remote starter is not working:

5 flashes; brake wire is active
6 flashes; hood pin is active
7 flashes; manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized
8 flashes; neutral safety wire has no ground or the switch is OFF.

Count the flashes and you will be able to go directly to the problem. Enjoy.

My Viper 791xv remote isn't receiving the page information from the unit in the car. When I press the unlock, lock, or remote start button, it works, but then the remote beeps as if it didn't work (3 sets...

My battery ran low and I jump started my car which some how caused the problem. My viper technician made me a buy new remote but the problem continued even with the new remote.
Try disconnecting the battery of your car for ten minutes and then reconnecting it. It worked for me. Now i have a extra remote which i don't need.

Led light stays on

if you are finished with the install, then it's in valet mode. if you are still working on the alarm it's on because the alarm needs a ground.

Got a new remote for my viper 791XZ and reprogrammed it .

this usually means that the remote did not recieve a signal back from the module or the module did not recieve the remote signal
have you tried repeatively to press the unlock button? does the remote starter work or aux( trunk ) ?
also when putting the battery in the remote , be easy because there is a connector plug soldered on the board real close to where the battery is , and if it is hit by the battery hard enough it will cause those solder connections to disconnect and you will get the beeps and or other malfunctions

Car is completely locked down

Let's hopethat the installer actually put in the valet switch for the Viper! Lcate the valet switch. ALWAYS put mine down by the e-brake lever under dash. (I assume that the alarm is going off? If not, go to next step.

Find the alarm/start brain under dash. Unplug main 6 pin 12 gauge wire harness. Wait 5 minutes, then re-appy the power plug. Alarm "may" go off, then try again.

Hit me back if you need further assstance. TTYL

Viper remote 771xv works, but gives three steady tones at regular intervals after using.

That means that your remote is not receiving a signal from the remote starter. That's a two-way unit designed to transmit(tx) and receive(rx) signals to and from the antenna or brain. If it doesn't do either one, the remote will give you three triple beeps.

Driver's door won't unlock with remote

This may be a problem with wiring. I will need to know what the make and model is of the car. Also keyless entry system stock OEM or was that an option you have added? Lastly, did you install this system or was this installed by a cetified DEI corperation?

Thank you,
Luis
