Hello, i have an old model viper alarm model 515 and for some reason now it doesnt chirp when you turn it on or set it off. It only flashes the light etc. Have i turned it off by the remote somehow?

Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward all the way just before cranking. Then within 5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the dash area, (push button, spring loaded) until the installed LED (the blinking light) in your dash area goes on solid, and the siren chirps once.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type. in this case, key on, flip switch in opposite direction, then turn the key off.)
This should reset the alarm, and reset the grounded relay on the starter wire, allowing you to start the engine. At this point, the only thing working would be the keyless entry from the alarm, if it came equipped that way. Just Repeat these steps to place it back to armed mode. You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.
Something in the circuitry has gone wrong if you're lights flash. The alarm is getting the signal to activate and disarm except the remote doesn't give the signal to make the horn alarm chirp once's for on and twice to disarm. The exact same problem occurred with my service van alarm, a viper. It works fine but I have to go by the flashes or look at the red led light to make sure it is on.I just live with it as long as it works. I have tried everything to repair it with no luck. Please let me know if you figure it out,lol. I hope you'res will work again. Sincerely,
