Stupid Alarm System.....

[JAG1]

Ready to use the alarm system for target practice..........if someone knows how to permanently disable the thing I would greatly appreciate it

Sounds like you already have figured out the best way to disable it. Could try stuffing it full of chicken feathers to dampen the sound .

What is it doing wrong?

[dave110]

Just thinking about this. My Chrysler 300m's alarm started to develop a mind of it's own, going off randomly for no reason.  I searched for a way to disable it and came up empty. I discovered that it will not arm if you manually lock the doors. That's what we've been doing for better than a year now. Don't know if theses trucks are like that or not. Worth a try I guess.

When I unlock the door with the key on the drivers side the interior lights do not come on which also means the alarm is still on. When I unlock the door on the passenger side there is no problem, the lights come on and the alarm shuts off. I can open that door without a problem of setting off the alarm.

 

I figured out the problem today when removing the drivers side door lock actuator. I discovered the problem was in the switch above directly behind the cylinder lock. It is a switch that's only function is to turn on the inside lights and shut off the alarm and signals to the door lock actuator on the passenger side to either lock or unlock the passenger door. I looked around for a part number on the net and LMC truck parts catolog, but could not find any reference for it. So I went about finding a way to fix it temporarily after finding that if I held it a certain way it would work without fail. I simply zip tied it to the slight tilt I held it at and now works on every try. Hoping I can find a new switch before it acting up again.

 

Thanks for all the interest in being a helpful group. The morale and support is great. As always I learned a bit more today. A good feeling having some knowledge about a problem over a dark abyss and resorting to target practice over it. ....... The Henry rests!

A noise canceling chicken is all you really needed. Never hear the hear that pesky alarm again.

One thing I'm glad I don't have on my truck. Yeah it's cool that you have a security feature from the factory but where do you buy the parts for 17 year old truck now? Is there anyone at a dealer that still knows how to operate a DRBIII tool for 17 year old trucks?

So you got destructive chickens that you can just point and it's taken care of? Please don't show them my picture....

I'm puttin it on your truck next time I see you.

 

 

At any rate I may have discovered or gotten an idea how to permanently disable that alarm. It would have to be something you do with that switch behind the key lock/ cylinder. Somehow make the truck think it's always unlocked with the key, but somehow separate the inside lights to go off as they should when you start it. I think you would loose the ability to unlock or lock the other door too, but that's how non alarm trucks are set up anyway.

Mine too on the 02 with the fob but, with the key it only unlocks one door, on the 01 with the alarm you can unlock both doors from either side using the key. or the fob.
