disarm of Python model 560XV
Alarm is on '98 ford ranger. my son worked for circuit city and installed himself years ago. I added auto door locks months back and they worked fine. lately the alarm will not arm/disarm - doesn't appear to be remote - have two and problem persists with both - is there a possibility there is a loose ground wire?
thanks

This "could" be a bad ground, however, usually when these units lose ground, they activate the siren at a really low level, because they are trying to ground through the siren.
I would say to check where the antenna plugs into the main unit,(brain) but honestly, in 17 years of dealing with DEI alarms, 99.9% of these problems are due to the transmitter - it may blink the LED like it is supposed to, but that doesnt gaurantee it is sending a signal. I would recommend buying a new transmitter and programing it to the brain.
