Viper model 7856V problems
Car wont start with the remote starter but doors open and close remotely
ThersTHERS ONE IMPORT ANT THING ABOUCAR STARTERS AND THEY ARE SENSITIVE AND VOUNERABLE TO VIBRATION ISSUES DUE TO EXOTIC FIRM SUSPENSION AND UNFORGIVING PAVEMENT, ONE KEY EASY TRICK IS CHECKING THE CONNECTORS (WIRING DIRECTLY ON STARTER) IF NO VISABLE LOOSE NESS -SPRAY SOME WD-40 OR OTHER GOOD QUAILITY INHIBITOR RIGHT ON CONNECTORS . JUST A GOOD QUICK COAT. NOT OVERLY DRENCHED. I WOULD SUSPECT RESPONSE RIGHT AWAY. GOOD-LUCK FRIEND.
Battery went dead,clifford alarm locked the engine
Assuming that all is well with the vehicle's electrical system (fuses, etc...), the following should work, as Viper/Clifford uses the "fail safe" method of starter disable, and it only works to lock out the starter when the alarm is functioning properly and in the armed state.
That system has a "starter kill" system. When the alarm is actived, the starter kill is engages, and won't let the starter get voltage from the ignition switch. First thing I'd try is connecting the car's battery while the ignition key is turned to the "on/run" position. Cycle the alarm to arm, then disarm, so that the LED is not blinking. It also may require using the manual override button/switch (with the key on) to reset the alarm. Should start after that.
If all else fails, reconnecting the starter wires back together (they are spliced and running through the alarm via a SPDT relay.
Immobiliser not working
Find the electronic control unit/immobilizer, probably under the hood somewhere. Get the brand/serial-model number and get online to the manufacturer and how to resynchronize your key fob. It's probably something like push a couple buttons on your fob and use the key to lock/unlock the doors but who knows. You MUST find out the immobilizer brand. Call the previous owner or dealer you got the truck from might even help.
