So I installed the viper 5704 on my 99 ford f-350 & the alarm works great, power-locks, remote start, etc. only issue I have is that the led light on the antenna stays on 24/7 & is irritating when I drive at night... Any ideas?

If it is lit solid then it's in valet mode, otherwise not in valet mode it should flash when armed.

Try pressing the F (function) button twice and the the UNLOCK button.

To exit valet mode, turn ignition on then off and press the valet button once. LED should shut off and resume normal operation.

Correct. Valet mode allows you to lock and unlock the car but will NOT arm the alarm system.

I also have this issue but its not in valet mode, went through the steps mentioned above and it turns the valet mode off and I get confirmation of that via HD remote yet the light stays on. Could this be a bad unit?

UPDATE! Apparently nobody knew the answer so I ordered a new brain box and that fixed the problem, curiosity got me so I opened the old one up and found a burnt circuit in the form of a black bubbled up pin hole in one of the chips, I suspect I sent positive current through one of the negative hook ups (dome light) because that was the only circuit that did nothing when I tested all of them. I suppose I could've disconnected the blue light and been fine but im glad it all works now and a replacement box was pretty cheap. everything else still worked including the black button on the antenna. So there you go.

Was the "burnt circuit in the form of a black bubbled up pin hole in one of the chips," repairable? I think I have the same problem, didnt know you co9uld order just the brain so have ordered a hole new system off ebay which came in around the $200ish mark!!!!!!!

Exit valet mode by, pressing the F-function button twice and then pressing disarm button.

I had this issue on a similar Viper unit. It was fixed by reprogramming the remotes. Don't know why this fixed it but it did. Had it on 2 separate units and both times this fixed it. I have had too many issues with this platform of Dei units especially remotes. They were pretty much junk. Not sure about the newest versions because I switched to a different brand. I'm talking about from the time this platform came out until 2014. I gave them chance after chance. I just got fed up with the constant remote problems and little issues like this. They cost time and money to fix. Switched in 14 and never looked back. Problems were not limited to to just this platform either. Who can forget the entry level units starting themselves. That was awesome. Don't get me started on the DBALL quirks. There was a thread dedicated to them on here about issues with it and how to fix them. All of which not in the manual. Sorry for the rant but can you tell it's a sore subject with me. I'm do strictly dealer work and some retail that is mostly referral business and it makes you look bad when little stuff like this happens over and over.
