Hello,

I have a Viper 690XV and after working on my car one day, the alarm wont arm or disarm. There is a box looking think with a few wires coming out of it thats hanging down, that looks like it was screwed in someplace. could that be it?

I also read on google, to unplug the brain, and reprogram the remote. but i cant my manual and cant find a online guide to reprogram it.

any help?

For some time now, my viper 690XV has been having no signal. I would unlock or lock it and it would just beep 6 times.
I read that i should disconnect and reconnect the brain, and reprogram the remote. i did that but since my remote has no signal i cant reprogram it.

There is a harness looking thing that i think is suppose to be screwed someplace but idk where. should i screw it to a ground?

unplug the antenna for a few mins and then reconnect. reprogram the remote. should be good after that.

Had you replaced the transmitter battery?

The wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.
Do it right the first time... or I might have to fix it for ya

Ummm... yes transmitter is remote obviously.

Have you tested for 12v+ and ground to be sure the unit has power?
Have you made sure the harness is securely plugged into module and it is on the correct way?
Did you check all the fuses that attach to the unit and in the car fusebox?
Is the antenna one that plugs in, if so is it plugged into brain correctly? That could be one reason for unresponsive unit.
If the unit is getting power and the antenna is plugged in, there might be an issue with the module.
