just bought my 2000 durango and it has a viper remote start and alarm. some how both the stock one and the viper alarms are still working.
if i dont arm the system but lock the doors and close them and open the door the factory alarm goes off, horn and lights.

the viper alarm when armed goes off, has a siren but no lights and no horn. plus theres no confermation if the truck starts unless you hear it fire up.

my biggest problem is the remote will unlock the doors but not lock them. any one deal with alarms that might know where the wires connect to the truck so i can see if some thing came loose? under the dash is a complete mess of wires.

 

Yeah I have the viper alarm with pager.
Just tell them to disable the fac alarm the viper doesn't play well with others

 

Hes right. They are suppose to disable the factory alarm. As for the lights not flashing when the truck is running, its an option. Also, there may be a wire loose OR someone didnt know how to hook it up right, thats why the lock/unlock doesnt work. Take it to a place that installs VIPER stuff so its done right. Its very easy to install something Wrong that can cause bigger issues or a FIRE!

 

I don't understand why they didn't disconnect the OEM one?

 

ill have to find a local place to check it out...also gotta get them to diable the auto arm its such a pain in the *** while working on the car. btw ive been searching and hopefully the door lock thing isnt the ctm that every has had problems with...

 

You have to bring it to a dodge dealer to get the factory alarm disabled...

 

There was a thread about disabling the fac alarm. where did it go???

 

Go here and find a place near you.

It taked about grounding a wire from the CTM......... I don't approve of that method.

Heres the link DRO318:
Alarm system disconnect


If you advance search under "disable alarm" in the 1st durango section you will find more info. Advanced Search

 

Yeah I remember you were sayin it wasn't a good idea I just remembered the thread bro
