Viper help

[mcordy]

I had a viper 5901 installed and its giving me intermittent issues. I know the first thing everyone will say is take it back to the installer, I will in the new year as he is an hour and 20 min drive away. So I thought I'd check with you guys if anyone has any ideas. My car randomly will shut down the auto starter after 2 mins. Its set to a 12 min cycle but when the timer gets to 2 it shuts down, it does this about 50% of the time and just restarting it does not fix the issue.

This morning i started the car to warm up before work, got to the store, tried to leave the car on wile i went in to grab a snack for later and the car shutdown after 2 mins. Drove the rest of the way to work, tried to remote start and the car shutdown at 2 mins again. left it all day, remote started at the end of the day and the whole 12 min cycle ran.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm not sure but now your making me second guess this product. I wanted to jump on this product as price is good for boxing day.

i love it otherwise, I doubt the problem exists in the viper, I think it may be the 3rd party PATS bypass module

can't you take it to any Authorized Viper/DEi installer under its Lifetime warranty?

The bypass module is only used to start the car not to keep it running. Try re-programing the alarm for 12 mins again if that still doesn't work its the alarm`s brain

Does it shut down at exactly 2 mins every time it shutdowns early?

It varies in time anywhere from 30 secs to about 5 mins, and sometimes not at all. It's weird..But most often does it about 2 mins in

Why not take it back to where you bought it?

I am going to but i live an hour and a half drive from where I bought it and work a lot. If I can fix myself then it would save me time hassle and gas

Is time and gas worth the headache of trying to fix it yourself should be the question ;)
