Its done this before, but usually after a little fiddling it fixes itself. Here is the symptoms:
My viper alarm doesnt work, wont unlock doors, siren tries to go off, and just acts plain weird.
Lights are a little dim maybe, not too bad
Headlights and everything turn on and are bright.
Now when I turn the key to start it, it acts exactly like a dead battery. All the lights go out, the starter ticks(but motor doenst turn over), etc.
When I hook jumper cables to it my alarm works perfect, I can arm and un arm it. Lights are bright,etc, but when I turn the key its the same thing, acts like a dead battery but the car will BARELY turn over.
I took a multimeter to the battery and its 12.6 volts, or like 14 with the jumper cables to another car.....so I dont think its the battery. What could this be?
