791xv Trunk, Hood not paging remote

When I ground the blue trunk input wire while the alarm is armed, the alarm goes off. When the hood is opened while remoted started the remote start shuts off. When the alarm is armed and the hood is opened the alarm is goes off. All this works but it doesn't page the remote to let it know of a trigger.. I'm 99.99% sure the remote is set up properly... Use AUX to toggle display selections between hood only (1 beep), trunk only (2 beeps), or hood and trunk (3 beeps) on the LCD display. The installer will have set the remote up to correctly display the installation (hood pin only, trunk pin only, or hood and trunk pin installed). Press * to toggle Page mode on and off. When Page Mode is on, the remote control will wake up periodically to check for messages from the security module. It will also wake up when any button on the remote is pushed. When Page Mode is off, the remote control “sleeps” until a button on the remote is pushed, extending the life of the battery. Door trigger, warn away, full shock, remote start all page me Any ideas?

Is this a fresh install, or did you swap the brain from another module?Seth Alvo     NY

Fresh install done by a auth DEI installer, and I could of done a better job on my own. I fixed up his hack job but this is the only problem left . You think I need to go back for a new alarm brain? Thats the part I'm dreading... letting him touch my vehicle again. The think that stumps me is the wires trigger the alarm like they should so the brain shouldn't be bad and I get pages from all the other stuff so the antenna should be good (the antenna is the only thing that was installed correctly)

There is still a possibility that the hood pin is hooked up, but the hood "trigger" is not. Maybe when you pop the hood, the shock sensor is setting the alarm off, and the same may go for the trunk. Get it checked out because it seems to me that the wires are not hooked up. In fact....set off the alarm by popping the hood, now is the hammer icon on the screen? If so then it was the shock sensor and the hood trigger isn't even connected. Good luck!Seth Alvo     NY

I'm sorry I just re-read your post.....I realized what I wrote makes no sense because you aren't even getting a page. Try taking the batteries out of the remote and putting them back in.Seth Alvo     NY

borrow someone's remote that works and program it to your brain, iif trunk/hood display then its your remote. Program your remote to his alarm and see if it shows up, then it is your brain. best way to test what the problem is. (my guess is the remote) Note: You Always Dont Get What You Pay For.
