I have a 99 Silverado with the Viper 771xv installed. The door triggers are isolated. The problem is that the alarm will just randomly go off once it's armed. Today at work, I armed the car at 9, the alarm went off at 10:15 and again at 11. Last night, I armed the vehicle at 10pm and the alarm went off at 3am! The LED flashes 6 times upon returning to the vehicle. Any suggestions on what's going on? No, I didn't hit the panic button on the remote.

6 flashes is a hood-pin trigger.

I unplugged the hood pin for now and the remote start works so much better. I think that was the problem. THANKS MEGAMAN!
