Sounds like you need to reinitialize your key fob. Hold both buttons in until the security system responds and then try again. I think that's how it is reset.

Most of the time its when your car battery gets replaced or dies completely.

Your welcome. BTW, black was the worst color for the cracking. Been there. It's heat cycles that really does it, not opening the hood. Drove my first viper home 14 hours. It didn't have a crack when I left but sure had plenty after I got home. Don't worry, it can be repainted better than new. A good hood adjustment help too!

Be careful on a 94 that it doesn't get caught in that nasty security loop... then there is no starting it. It needs to be de-programmed and re-programmed. Get a battery tender.
