I bought a used dodge pickup equiped with a viper remote system,it worked fine until the last few days now Iam unable to start the vehicle with the key and keep it running.I took out the battery from remote but does not run still until the vehicle gets warm.Then I replaced the battery and started it and it runs ok .Anyway I can just remove a wire or something to disarm this all together.I drive a 100 miles to work and back daily and dont want to get hung up somewhere along the way

Remote starter?
if so then yes you can pull it out. It should default to able to start car normally. That's going on the assumption that it has been installed correctly. As far as the remote starter ( if that's what we're talking about). When does the car shut off when using that key? When you try to put it in gear, pressing the brake?
On many of the Viper models, the symptom you are describing is because the remote battery is low. The remote can't be too far from the vehicle. If it is, the system see it as you forgot about the vehicle being remote started, and shuts it back down. A weak battery creates a weak signal and makes the unit 'think' you are far away. The Viper website has instructions on how to disable the whole system, there are many different versions, so find the box and get the model number from it, you will need that to get any further.
Hey John, he also stated that he can't keep truck running with key. Sounds maybe the Ign wire to unit. So when he turns on the key it's not seeing the power from Ign. Been a few years since I have worked on them but I'm sure they still work the same. Need key one to put car in drive a press brake. But your right needs model number to go further on it
