Alarm won't work after new windsheild
So I got a new windshield installed the other day and when I went to arm my alarm it wouldn't work. I checked the antenna that was attached to the windshield and the wires are still ok. Any ideas?
I also noticed that the alarm isn't locking and unlocking the doors when the car is started also. So basically the alarm isn't working at all. The warranty guy from the windshield company came out and said that I would have to get an estimate and something saying that the guy installing it f'ed it up. He them proceeded to say "yeah, sometimes these alarms just quit working", l find it hard to believe that I used my alarm to open the car for the technician and after it wont work is a coincidence.

x2 I agree.. the cable must have been cut, stripped or pinched somewhere along the line. They had to have pulled your A-pillar plastic pieces off and possibly damaged the antenna wire when clipping them back in or when cutting the old windshield out.
hope this helps,

Some times your remote gets unsynced with the code that transmits to the brain installed in your your car. Try holding the lock button down for some time and then let go. Then try to lock it again. If that doesn't work try resetting everything by taking the negative wire off the terminal of the battery wait like 30 secs and put it back on then try to lock the doors again. Te other problem is that a fuse might have blown. Check all fuses on your alarmsystem theres two that go to mine.
Note** the steps aboved worked for me when my alarm just stopped working.
If this doesn't work what do you have installed in your car?
Ex.) viper
