I have a Viper 550HF on a Jeep I just bought... it used to chirp when I turned the alarm on & off... & the small red light in my dash used to blink... the alarm still works but Ive lost the blink & chirp. Can I get these back working like they were?

Thank You

you are in valet mode to get in and out of that

turn key on then off push valet button once

or

open door push lock then unlock then lock again

hmmm... I looked under the dash & found the little "black box" but I didnt see a switch on it... so I tried the lock & unlock thing... it didnt work. Is this a little push button switch... a flip switch...?

I unlocked the doors... opened the drivers door... put the key in... turned it to the on position... then off... then pushed lock... unlock... then lock again... then I shut the door... hit lock & unlock a few times... same thing...no chirp & red light in dash stays on constant.

Whats wrong here... lol

The valet switch is a push button momentary switch. (not toggle) If you are trying the other method, are you pushing lock and unlock on the viper remote or the switch in the car?

with remote the door trigger needs to be hook up. it should be if installed right and if pin switch is working right.

dotn go to fast when pushing buttons how many buttons do your remotes have

Well... the doors lock & the alarm engages with the remote so I suppose its hooked up right... right?

I have a 4 button remote.

I tried it both ways... hitting the lock...unlock... & lock slowly & fast.

Am I correct in hitting the lock, unlock & lock with the door open?

I just tried it again with same results. I will go back out & see if Im missing that little switch on the black box.

dont worrie about the switch or valet button if you trying to do it by remote
since we cant get the to do it lets try try the by the key

you need to find the valet it be a small black button some were. not sure what u mean by black box.

you may have 2 button one valet and one VRS ( car recover thing) for get how to sue that

need the button that does the programing and say if u lose your remote how to turn alarm OFF


HOW MANY BUTTON ( small black ones) DO YOU HAVE?

when you hit lock on the remote with the door open and the siren chirps, if you wait a couple of seconds does it chirp at you again? If so then the door triggers are hooked up, if not then either they are not, or there is a problem with the door triggers. If this is the case, it would explain why the alarm won't go into any programming.

When I first got the Jeep.... it chirped once when I locked the doors by remote (hitting number ONE) & it chiped twice on unlock. My little red light in the dash used to blink too but now it stays on constant unless I start the car.... I must have screwed this up when I was playing with the remote seeing what each button does.

All I know is it has an alarm & remote start installed... both works. I can hold ONE down on the remote & the alarm sounds in panic mode & if I hit ONE & TWO together... it starts the car. It is a FOUR button remote.

I just want my chirp sound back. It really isnt a big deal but Id just like to hear the chirp.

Theres a black box under the dash with wires & plugs in it... it says Viper on it so is that where the Valet switch is SUPPOSE it be? because its not there. Now there is a small square cut out in the box with a black wire running into it... but no switch.

the valet switch could be hidden anywhere or the installer didnt bother to put one in for you.

since you not sure were the valet button this be a good time to find it and know how it works. if your car is armed and the remote battery dies or broken or if you lose your remote your not going to be able to drive your car.
to fine it look for the alarm itself it be under the dash some were, follow a black and gray wire that be your valet.
also you may have 2 button one be for VCS ( that may not be installed) you can down load the manuals for that.

the small black wire that is not connected to any thing is your antenna leave that alone
but on viper look at all the wire plugs into u see a small blue one that shoudl have a black and a gray wire coming out that is your valet button

WOOHOOOO!!! I FINALLY found the valet button.Now everything is back to working as it was when I bought the car.

THANK YOU everyone!!

Now... if you dont mind... please explain this...

I have an extra remote... the light on the remote comes on when I push a button...but nothing happends.  What do I have to do to get this remote to work. I think it would be a good idea to have a working spare remote.

Thanks again for all your help!

you could try to reprogram it.

have the drivers door open.
turn the ign on
press the valet button once and release it. press it again and hold it. you should hear 1 chirp
press lock on the remote and you should hear another chirp
turn off ign and make sure the remote works.
