I'm not 100% sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I have a 96 Z28 and the kid that I bought it from had a Viper alarm/autostart put in. Now, the autostart feature isnt working and the alarm is acting funny in that the light is always on, even while driving, regardless of whether the alarm was set or not. I want to know if anyone else has one of these and knows where it is in the car to disconnect it or remove it. Any help is appreciated.

 

the stock alarm/keyless module is in the passenger side kick panel, but usually aftermarket alarms done by install shops are under the steering column behind the driver knee bolster. another real common place for an aftermarket alarm in an f-body is behind the glovebox. once you take off a panel of two, you'll see where there are wires and relays that dont look factory, then just follow them.

 

Aftermarket alarms can be installed about anywhere Your best bet is to pull down the knee bolster under the steering wheel and see what there is to see. If you don't see the actual "brain" you might see a shock sensor that you can trace back to the brain.

I'll move this over to the Electronics forum. Good luck!

 

to answer the second part of your problem....the alarm is probably in Valet mode. which will cause the LED light to constantly stay lit while driving. Sit with the car off, and on the remote press lock, unlock, lock, unlock, really fast. (I think that's how you do it) If that doesn't work, stick the key in the ignition and turn the ignition on, off, on, off, really fast. I know one of these methods, or something similar, is the proper procedure for Viper alarms.

 

Thanks for the info. I had no idea such a mode existed. I'll try that trick when I get home.

 

I thought that activated "self-destruct mode".......
