Chrysler Repair: HOW TO RESET ALARM: 99LHS, 1999 chrysler lhs, chrysler lhs


Question
I HAVE A 1999 CHRYSLER LHS WHEN I TURN THE KEY THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER BUT THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS STILL COMES ON NOW HOW DO I RESET THE ALARM OR DISABLE IT

Answer
Hi Robert,
If by "not turn over" you mean that the starter will crank but that the engine will not idle, except for about 2-3 seconds then die, that is indeed the way it behaves if it is in the alarmed status. You need to lock then unlock either front door, using the door key. Try both the driver and the passenger door.
If you mean the starter motor will not crank the engine, then that is not a symptom of an alarmed security system. I would check under the hood while a helper tries the starter to see if you hear either a loud click from the starter motor solenoid switch, or a soft click from the starter motor relay located in the power distribution box near the battery (open the lid of the box).
If you are indeed in the alarmed state and the key lock/unlock doesn't clear it, let me know and I can tell you how to do the clearing procedure using a resistor to simulate the action. Also tell me if your ignition key is of the sentry key immobilizer (skim) type or not.
