My remote just went bad, too. I have the Python 880 but it is the same as yours. I was lucky enough to still be under warranty and am getting a new 881 remote. Hopefully it will last longer than the first one.

I think my shop has almost swapped out all the remotes that came with the Python 880XP's we have sold. They were junk. We've given out a lot of the new remotes and I only recall seeing 1 that went bad. It shouldn't be a problem getting it replaced under warranty. There were a lot of design flaws with the first generation remotes, and dei is kicking themselves now because of it. I would love to know the failure rate....probably 80% or higher.

You guys are awesome!!  I got underneath where I wired it all, and I heard a buzzing noise....couldn't make out where it was coming from, but sounded like a stuck relay or something, I unhooked the antenna and BAM it was gone, plugged it back in and the remote worked instantly.  Thanks for your help

sometimes jumping it will actually take the programming away from the remote.....had that happen a few times.....but in terms of the 791 replacing the 790 I've worked on a few of each and the best thing besides the remote problem bein fixed is the relay pack that is now about the size of the remote (a bit bigger but still) so I think that had something also to do with it.....791 remotes look nicer too though and come with a belt clip
