Car Alarms: 1998 caravan alarm, valet mode, dash area

Question
The alarm on my 1998 caravan will not sound when the doors are opened . The kill switch seems to work. When the key fob is hit to open or close the locks everything works and the chirp sounds. Sorry this was a factory installed alarm from dodge

I not sure what I did but it seem to go bad one day when I couldn't get the key fob to work . I hit the buttons a few times,then I was able to open the van but  I think this is when I started.  

Thank you
Joe

Answer
Try to reset the system to see
if it is in a panic mode.

To start, look under the dash area for a button or,
a toggle switch. When you locate it, turn on the
ignition key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. The next step is to
either remove the alarm or, try to identify,
and get new remotes for it.

But once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no alarm at all.

Let me know how it goes.
