QuestionAre these instructions for the factory installed alarm system? I'm not sure where to locate the button/switch under the dash..also the alarm does not beep, it triggers the horn. Please let me know if you have any more detail. Thank you again for all of your assistance.

-----Question-----
Please help. My car keeps having problems with the alarm. It has been working as long as I unlike the passenger door before unlocking the drivers door. Now nothing works. This morning, I did as above but when I opened the drivers door and sat down to start the car the alarm triggered. It beeped for three minutes and then flashed for another 18 just like the manual stated, but I can't figure out how to reset the alarm so I can't drive the car. I'd like to know if you can help me reset and disarm the alarm. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

The alarm is is long tamper mode.
You will need to reset, and possibly
re program the remotes. That part you will need
your manual for, but the aftermarket alarm
seems to be doing it's job.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)
This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.
At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.
Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.
That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.
If it does not work out this way,
you will have to replace the system
with one you know how to operate
and what to expect. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.
Let me know what happens.

AnswerAh, then if it's the factory alarm,
you will need to locate the
FACTORY ALARM DISARM wire which is the
lt. green/orange|-| in the drivers door
harness.
Once found, splice into it with a simular
size wire, then ground this wire to the body
of the car. This will terminate the
Chrysler factory security system.
I hope this solves it for you.
Good luck.
