i recently came up with a problem...whenever i press the lock button, the car does not receive any signal. i remember dropping the remote a couple times, but other than that, nothing else happened. is there a solution to this?

thanks

 

does the remote say your not getting signal but sometimes all functions still work?

Check your antenna connections on your remote start at the brain, and at the antenna. If those are all good, most likely your remote is going bad. Doesnt matter if your remote hasnt been dropped or not, sometimes they just go bad. Had that problem with one of my pythons.

 

the functions do not work. everytime i press the buttons if beeps a few times rapidly and the display says that it's not receiving any signal. any more ideas? should i just order a new one and reprogram it?

 

No, it now sounds like a different problem.

Check your connections of the antenna first, both the brain and the antenna itself. If those are both connected. It now sounds like your remote needs to be reprogrammed. If you hit any function on the remote and nothing ever works, should just need to be reprogrammed. Did you by chance replace the battery or anything?

 

yea i replaced the battery every month or so when it goes out...it never had any problems after changing the battery before

 

no i was talking about the battery on your car

 

do you know where your valet switch is in your car?

Try this. Start at page 35 to reprogram your current remote that you have. You must know where the valet switch from the remote start is in order to program.

 

everything work out?

 

i can't find the valet switch or the led....

 

lol, come to chicago, ill fix it :-P

its a pain to try and type how to find everything and fix it. I would say look through that user manual I gave you and find the location of the valet switch and led and follow the wiring to find their locations if they are even plugged in.

 

I found the valet button and tried reprogramming it but it won't sync with the remote

 

alright, at that point if you are positive you are reprogramming it right, its your remote

 

yes i tried many times and i also brought it to an audio store to have them try and reprogram it. they said try a new remote too.

do you know any places that might have the alarm remote for a good price? thanks

 

ebay, you can get either the viper, python, or clifford remote
