Reset the alarm with the keyhole in the glovebox. Then resynch the FOB to the alarm. See if problem goes away.

'97 GTS don't have the keyhole in the glove box

but you do have to reset the alarm. Try disconnecting the red pos batt contact under the hood, if it's stuck and can't move then try re-setting the computer.

This is an easy one... as I have done it too many times myself...

When you wiped down one of the doors you hit the lock button.

And you didn't even know you hit it.... ( been there done it )

Now you closed your doors and your locked out of the car.

Lesson one: When cleaning the car never leave the keys in
the car.

Its easy to check to see if its the alarm or you just hit the
door locks by accident....

To check if its the alarm just open the rear hatch... if its
the alarm the horn will sound.

And if its the alarm you should be able to open the doors with
the key fob.

If its the door locks, again, just open the door with the key
fob.

If your alarm needs reseting, take the big red wire off of the
terminal ( under the hood, driver side ) and then reconnect it.
Then get in and reset your clock on the radio.

I still think you hit the door lock... this is the rocker
switch just below the pull handle on each of your doors ( inside)
It has a small light on it. (97 GTS for sure do)
you can play with the switch to understand what I'm talking about
but kept at least one door open before you play with it.

wow Louis... This is becoming a real bummer...

If the car starts and stays running the battery should be OK...

It may be time to call in a Viper tech...

Charge the battery up tonight and see if that will work for you

I think you have said you are going to change out the fob battery
too.

Sorry these suggestions aren't working for you...
