viper 791xv 98 trans am

Viper 791xv on a '98 pontiac trans am.  It works, almost all the time, about 4 out of the 20 times I've tried it, you can hear the starter click a few times and everything shuts down.  The remote indicates it's in remote start mode.  The car has no power to anything at all inside, lights, radio, nothing.  Try starting it with the key, but nothing at all happens, no clicking starter, no juice to anything.  But, I turn on the parking lights, which for whatever reason flips the headlights up, which doesn't normally happen, and the car fires up with or without using the key.  The trip odometer and the cd player are reset, and I have to set all the setting on the cd player again as though I disconnected the battery.  I also have noticed since it happened the first time, the led light stay on constantly when the car is shut off but not while running, the siren does not chirp when arming and disarming and the lights don't flash.  Please someone tell me there is some little secret that links all this together!!!!!!???????!!!!!!

I know the car does wake up as needed because the door locks and other accesories function normally regardless of how long the car has sat around.  The VATS pulse is good, but I'll double check which power wires I have tapped everything into. 

What seems so odd is that it works almost all the time.  The alarm itself is good to go, except for what I mentioned above Which started since the first time the remote starter didn't fire the car up.  such as the constant lit LED and the siren not chirping.  I would think if it was an issue regarding the direction power is being pulled through a circuit, this stuff would happen every time. 

Got it out of valet mode.  thanks for that one! 

It remote started fine yesterday and again this morning after sitting all night.  I pulled the brain out and found a 10 amp fuse on the white wire had been blown.  I swapped it out, and it remote started fine again and the fuse stayed ok.  I also threw in a new optima red top battery.  Hopefully this solves the mystery.

I also can't get it to go into programming mode so I can turn off the auto locks(almost locked me out several times now. )  Gonna check some more wiring...

Everything is working quite nicely, but I can't get it into programming mode to turn off the pesky ignition controlled locks.  I keep locking myself out with them on.  I open the door, ignition on, then off, then press and hold the valet switch, but I never get any chirps. 

I know the valet switch works fine, because it will enter valet mode, which it does everytime I try to get it into programming mode.  I know the door pin is hooked up, because opening the door sets of the alarm when it is armed.  Anybody have an idea?
