I can't start my van. I think it is the alarm system because the alarm was going off for no reason constantly for awhile and then nothing. It will not turn over. I tried the keyfob trick, banging the driver door worked for awhile, waiting 24hrs worked once, and now I am disconnecting the battery and waiting to see it that works. I want to disconnect the whole stinking alarm system but I am not sure if it can be done because chrysler service guys said it can't be done but I think it can be. Can you tell me how to disconnect the alarm system on my van.
Thanks

Lisa:

I have seen this problem before and it ended up being the door latch fro the drivers side. It has a micro switch which goes bad inside.

You will need to take off the door panel this guide will show you how.

Thank you so much I did what you said and now the alarm works perfect I did need to remove the battery cable for 30 minutes to let the system reset. It cost me 67.00 for the latch did it in about an hour.
