You absoluetely need it connected.

Any idea what might be the cause of the door locks not working right? I forgot to mention that the oem fob works the locks fine so does the lock buttons on the drivers door. The locks don't work right with the viper remote, I understand the problem is with the remote starter, but it does seem to work as it should when I unbolted this block. I was thinking it may have something to do with something getting wet.
