thanks for the help guys, i think it could be the alarm brain not working right, the battery in the button is good and it lights up green everytime i push it, it has been doing this for awhile now, but after a few times pressing the button it works, what could i do to get the brain/button insync together? i do not have the install manual for the alarm, anyway i could get it online anywhere?? i have moved since i got the alarm and lost the box and everything, i thought of maybe just buying a new alarm, and then i could just do a plug and play type thing with the brains, they should all plug up the same way right? that way install would be simple lol
