5901 viper alarm problem

At this point I would get a DMM and start checking for continuity on each of the connected wires. Look at each of the connectors for any burn marks or damage. What about the bypass module? D2D or W2W. Could it be hanging up the 5901?  If both brains act the same, you have to eliminate one thing at a time or replace parts until the fault is found.  Only three things are electronic, the brain, the antenna, and the bypass. Everything else are wires or fuses, Fuses you have checked.  just my thoughts on what I would do.When all else fails, Read the Instructions

Thanks for the input. I'll check the wires later this evening and see what comes up. I'm using an XK07 D2D. The last time the bypass module went out, the only effect it had was that I wasn't able to remote start but I might go ahead and order another one, as well as bite the bullet and order a new antenna. But first i'll check the wires.

Things just keep getting worst. Friday night my car didn't crank/start. Alarm problem is also still there even after I changed out the bypass module and antenna that came in today. When I try to start the car, I just hear a single click from my starter. I read on a forum specific to my car and there were various things it could be but the most common thing was either a bad battery or a bad starter. Well, I changed out my battery at Walmart (good thing it was still under warranty), but that didn't fix it. I think it's indirectly related to my alarm problem. This is driving me crazy. My next step might be to completely change out my BCM. Anyone have any other suggestions?
