Chrysler Repair: 2001 Chrysler t&c: anti-theft system wont disarm, power door locks, ohm resistor

Question
I've been having problems with the van cranking it will start come up to middle and cut off it does this three time and then it will not do anything i can wait anywhere from five mins to five hours and it will crank and run fine for a while took it to the dealer they said they couldn't find a problem so we discussed the alarm and came to the conclusion the skim module replaced today and to what surprise put us down again if possible i would like to bypass the whole alarm or is there another way of fixing this

Answer
Hi Jamie,
Unfortunately the theft system is built-in to the body computer and there is no simple way to by-pass it. I believe that you are being shut down by that system.
Have you tried not using the remote, nor the door lock key, nor the power door locks when you exit and instead just secure the doors by means of the manual push buttons on the inside of the doors? That is the only way you can by-pass the the theft system, by never arming it. Try that and see if you can avoid the problem.
It is possible that the wire from the door lock switch to the body computer is flakey for both the driver door and the passenger door. You should be able to disarm the theft system by using the key in either of those doors. You might try to unlock the lift gate door as another way to disarm the system as it functions in the same way as the two front doors.
As a last resort you could replace the body controller with one from a van that didn't have the anti-theft feature. But see whether just never using any of the latching mechanisms other than the manual buttons will keep you out of trouble. And when/if you do get shut down again try to unlock the tailgate to see if that will clear it.
Please let me know if any of these suggestions work for you.
If you are electically skilled, you can take a 655 ohm resistor and attach it to the white/dark green wire on pin 45 of the blue plug on the body controller (located under the dash on the back side of the fuse box). Then whenever you are shut down just momentarily jump a lead from that resistor to a ground point nearby, which is essentially what you do when you unlock the driver door.
