Viper 5701 problems!!!! HELP PLZ!!!

pj88 · 09-15-2009, 04:04 PM

I just purchased a Viper 5701 and had it installed in my Nissan Xtrail (pathfinder). I also purchased 2 window modulators(front and back windows) and a back up battery. When I went to the installer he said he was having problems with the windows coming down and to bring it back for him to check. To my surprise when I left they worked completely fine. BUT soon after they started giving trouble i.e when i remote start and get in the car the windows wont go down its like when i'm pushing the switch to go down they keep trying to come back up. and as of recent when they do go down at any moment they come right back up!!!! and this is jus the beginning i have also noticed that at times when i try to start the car with the key the car wont turn over!! i HAVE to use the remote start to start it!! Anddd also as of recent when i dis arm the alarm the doors don't open!!! i have to keep arming and disarming!! I have taken it to the installer a couple time with no luck. I just wonder has anyone ever heard about this or have any suggestions? Is this an installation problem or hardware?(with my minimal knowledge in this i would think its a hardware problem but i have called a couple of places and they told me not nessc. oh i live in the caribbean and the places i called are in the US. no place here seems to have a clue what to do.)

Sounds like you picked a horrible installer.. in my opinion.

There is nothing worse than a bad alarm/rs install. Agree with cool that seems to be the case. Been there, had that happen to me once....
