Question
On the dash board indicator lights the DCL light
keeps coming on and the alarm is sounding.  What does DCL mean, and how do you fix it? This car has a 3.8 motor in it.  

Answer
the light in the dash is the dash module which is expensive. the reasion why the alarm is going off is 2 things 1)the trunk lock sensor is shorted and 2) the keyless entrey pad is shorted.easy way to find out is unplug the trunk sensor if it doesn't go off thats it and it's ok to live it unpluged
