alright so 95 240 base with power everything. its been going GOOD for months from the previous owner it came with a viper 2 way pager and remote start everything worked great. i haven't touched it in about a month since a lsd and sway bars, and now suddenly the door locks don't work one day. but o no it wouldn't b a simple problem. anybody know why when i press unlock on the remote it deactivates the alarm but locks the doors, and when i press lock it unlocks the doors and sets the alarm? :facepalm: great with engines and mechanical but idk alarms for shyt.i asked the previous owner cause he did the alarm and he doesn't know..o and btw the inside switch has now stopped working and the passenger side door has always not locked just makes a weird clicking noise when it tried then gave up lol it only started 2 days ago and is really pissing me off. anybody think its the switch causing all of this?

I know this probably isnt what you want to hear. But, it was my approach to my verts alarm issue. I removed every wire associated with the alarm, kept the car in the garage, never parked it anywhere out of shooting range if I could help it, and have never had a problem since. Or take it to a shop that does alarms and ask them. That would be the best solution if you want to keep it.

Seems like he wired it incorrectly, shouldn't be a big fix. Did it work correctly ever for him?

Swap the green and the blue wires on the alarm, they are hooked up backwards.
