viper 5900 on 07 dodge ram issue

Sounds like you have Ignition Controlled door locks on the Viper alarm. When you start the truck the alarm locks the doors and it arms the factory alarm. When the factory alarm recognizes the truck is started it disarms giving you the second beep. It won't lock the doors if one of them is open thats why it doesn't beep. This is just a hunch I could be wrong.

yeah the doors lock automatically when i start the truck and unlock automatically after driving it and turning the vehicle off. before installing the viper 5900 the doors would lock automatically after driving for a couple of minutes, they wouldnt unlock automatically though when the vehicle has stopped and been shut off, but all of this is just me thinking, i would think that stuff like the doors locking and unlocking and the horn honking after manually starting the vehicle would be a settings (programming) issue and not a defect part, but like i said thats just me thinking.2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab

well thats exactly what i stated earlier in my post.  Try turning the feature off on the 5900.  Get the install manual in the download section of this website and program it.

what he said. turn off the ignition controlled locks on the viper 5900. as far as the key situation goes, rather than getting another key made and throwing it in a box under the dash. . .get a bypass such as xk532 or 556C to program to the truck. will cost far less than getting another key made

finally the installer from best buy called me back, he asked me to try using my factory keyfob to try and disable the horn beep, which i'm the one that told him about that in the first place, well he called and said he talked to DEI and they suggested to try the lock and panic button to disable the horn honk, but i had tried that and it didnt work, then he suggested trying unlock and panic button, but that didnt work either, then he said that he would replace the "brain" and see if that worked, so i'm going to take that back to him and see if that fixes it, appreciate all suggestions and direction on getting help.2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab

I am interested in how the installer is going to fix this or say he fixed it. I understand it may be different since we can't actually see the truck or what he did but it sounds fishy.

yeah.....i agree with you sneakycyber....this whole install has sounded fishy from the beginning!  Of course, he is the one who has done this whole install, so actually working on the vehicle would give him some more insight! ...half of the truth can be worse than a lie. <----Roger Russell said that..
