Alarm

Yes I did get factory fobs but no alarm symbol. Thanks for the timely information, much appreciated.

My Dodge Ram had to have a battery and alternator installed. I picked it up from the shop and all was well, until two days later. Going to make a long story short.

Its a 2002 Dodge Ram. I bought it cash many years back and dumped a lot of money into it to. The first thing I did was get an advance alarm, so I no longer needed the default alarm clicker, I only used the clifford alarm I had installed which would lock and unlock the doors.

For some reson when I locked the truck, the locks didnt go down, I thought nothing of it, opened it and simply pushed it down manually. The next day I went to go unlock it same thing, the alarm chipped, but the locks stay down. So I stuck my key in the door and now all hell broke lose.

I noticed this red light which I never seen before blinking and clicking. I stick the key in the ignition and nothing, I tried click the light on or something and nothing, its like this securtiy overide took over. I grabbed the original clicker pushed every button on there and nothing. I went to auto zone to get new batteries for it and still nothing. I even discounted the main battery and popped it back on there and that damn red light is still blinking.

I googled and tried almost everything. I put the original key in the door locked and unlocked 500 hundred times and that damn light is still there.

Please help

Yes it is a small red light flashing. And when I stick the key in it stops like its waiting for my to hit a kill switch or something

Wow, so this little red light disabled the entire truck? No lights come on, no power, not even the door locks. Is that what its suppose to do or could this battery be bad?

Thanks for your time I greatly appreciate it, I just have no idea how I can back the truck up for a tow truck since I can't even shift gears. This seems very messy

I hope your right my friend - yeah nothing works, its just dead, no light, nothing, I checked the battery and it was still the old battery that had drained dry on me shortly before putting the truck in the shop. I check the reciepts, and they only changed the terminal, not the battery so I am really hoping that the battery is just dead. I'm going to pull it off now and run it to autozone to check it,

thanks

I will keep you posted.

Thank you so very much. That did it my friend! It worked like a charm!

Thank you so much, this has been bothering me the last few days, and I was not looking forward to having it towed to a Chrysler dealership tomorrow.

You saved me, thanks again.

02 ram 1500 5.9 starts but only runs 5 seconds but shows no codes bought car at auction

I have a 1997 dodge ramm 1500 with about 53000 miles my problem is that I unhooked my batter to clean it off anf when I re attached it the alarm started to go off to make a long story short now the alarm keeps going but at a very low tone I just want to shut the thing off it is an after market alarm and I dont know which model it came with the truck

I recently changed out the ignition switch and in doing so, disconnected the battery cable for the airbags. When I reconnected the battery cable the alarm activated. I don't have a remote alarm fob. Does the alarm deactivate the starter so I can't start it, or did I do something wrong changing the ignition switch?
