I have a viper alarm system on my Camaro, and it works (worked?) great... But recently, when I lock or unlock my car, I cant hear the beep or beeps. It used to be VERY loud, but now I can hardly hear it (and i mean it was LOUD, I could hear it lock or unlock from inside my house)... I haven't tested the alarm yet, and its not the kep fob-the battery is still good.

Anyone know what the problem could be? Is it not a big deal? Any thoughts or info would be great!

 

so many probs with them things

 

So no one knows? lol

I guess my alarm works, I set it off last night... i can just never tell if the car is locked or not

 

wire loose?

 

I didnt install the alarm system.... where would I look to see if there were lose wires? Or do I have to google for that one?

 

start at the speaker or whatever visible components you have, and start tracing the wires. should be solid wires run between the "brains" and the loud speaker, so only loose connections will be @ the brains or the speaker itself. also, maybe u accidentally changed a setting on it. look for a product manual online to see if there is a button on ur fob or a switch on the module u can flip

 

Thanks Spec, I checked all the wires, then I messed with all the buttons. I must have hit something on the fob

 

so u got it fixed?

 

Yup, I beleive so

Thanks

Edit: I beleive the AUX button was the problem... someone must of hit it a few times (people love to mess with it for some reason [>:])

 

Viper alarms suck! Had one and I'll never buy them again!! If you're going to get an alarm then pay the money for a good one or see a dealer. Kill switches work the best. You rout the wiring anyplace and you can put one or more switch. Car thieves want to get in and get going they don't want to try to figure out how to start the damn car.
