Question
I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500.  I bought the truck with the current alarm which is a commander alarm system. When i first bought the truck the alarm would automticaly set all the time now it does not however i can still unlock and lock the truck from the key fob. the remote start also works. THe only thing is that when i lock it from the key fob the alarm does not set, this is a problem because i was recently broken into.  I would like to now how to switch it back so the alarm sets automaticaly all of the time

Answer
It appears from your expaination, that the
car alarm is in service mode.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the
left of the leg drilled into a hidden away spot,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.
Let me know what happens.
