The battery in my Firebird died yesterday and I replaced the Delco one with a new Optima Red Top. I have a DEI sidewinder remote start alarm that Best Buy installed about 2 and a half years ago. After installing the new battery my alarm doesnt seem to be working, it will not lock/unlock nor will it remote start

Anyone have any idea why it might be doing this? or how long the Best Buy warrenty is on installed alarms?

 

If you dont know the wiring for the alarm, your best bet is to take it back to best buy. If you know where the brain is located, try checking the inline fuse going into it. Somtime that fuse can blow when there is a surge. Also check all the fuses on your fuse block to make sure those arn't blown.

Good Luck

 

Yeah, go back to Best Buy and pay attention to what they do. There is probably a procedure for keying the remote to the alarm.
