Hello everyone, first poster here :)
I hope I can get some help from you guys regarding a problem that i have with my 5901 Viper alarm, here it goes:
I own a ford mondeo (year 2005) european model, installation was made 5 years ago and hard wired to the cars electrical system. Right now the alarm only has the glass break sensor attached (i used to have all the other modules but i removed them 2 years ago)
Got to the car one morning and notice that the battery remote died, so when I opened the car door the alarm trigered (normal behavior). I disabled the alarm by removing the alarm fuse (i did not use the override swithc - more on that later) and got on my way.
I recharged the remote battery and then tried to disarm the car. When i put the fuse back in, the alarm trigers and trying to disarm the sistem using the remote does not work - the remote behaves as it is out of range.
What i tried:
- i tried cicling through all 5 possible override switch options (open door, ign on, press override switch once - up to pressing the switch 5 times) - did not work
- tried to pair the remote - i cannot get the brain to exit the alarm mode. Pressing on the override switch does nothing.
- alarm stops only when the engine is started or the ign is on
- when alarm is trigered the remote receives notification that the shock sensor has been trigered.
- at one time i received a notification on the remote saying "Alarm Key ON" - i have never seen this before
- I have not tried using the secondary remote
- the local viper installer is useless - don't want to deal with them
- i removed the car battery one whole night, when i returned to the car and put the fuse back in, the same thing happened - alarm trigered and remote does not work.
Can anyone pease give me some ideas regarding what elese can i do?
What should i try ?
I remember at one point that I have changed the override number of presses, but i do not know to what number, also it does not seem to work anywais as i cicled through all 5 presses.
Can the override setting be reset?
