Viper 791 not paging back

I had the Viper 2 way installed back in July. Everything was working fine. Today I went to unlock my car and hit unlock on the remote. The siren chirped, the car unlocked, everything was great. But then the alarm beeped at me because it didn't get the response page back. Kept trying it, locking, unlocking, ect. It's not receiving the confirmation page from the car so it thinks I'm out of range and beeps at me. I then set off my alarm hoping I'd get a page, nothing. I checked the remote and page mode is on. BTW, I'm doing this with the remote pointed right at the antenna and half a foot away. Anyone know what could be wrong? I'll call the place that installed it later, but if it's something I can fix, that would save me a 120 mile drive.

unplug the antenna and let it sit 5 minutes, then plug it back in and try again....Kevin Gerry

The other thing to check would be if your remote has switched channels on you as you can use that same remote for a different vehicle. I've had customers do this "by accident" a few times.

I called the place that installed it and they offered to exchange my remote and see if that helps. And of course, after I call, it stars working normally again. Should I bother getting the replacement remote then? I'm worried if I don't get the remote, then it will start happening again

I'd get a new remote. They can be about as sketchy as a crackhead at times..... at least the blue ones are better than the white ones. Gus Wherever I go, that is where I end up......
