Chrysler Repair - Disabling Alarm: '92 New Yorker


Expert: Roland Finston - 11/12/2009

Question
please help.

i have the exact same problem and car (1992 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue V6) as here:  http://en.allexperts.com/q/Chrysler-Repair-807/2008/12/92-New-Yorker-anti.htm

i read what you wrote and been crying for 2 days b/c i'm 23 years old on my own in a strange small town trying to fix this myself due to the economy, little money and no family. i’m not dumb but know little about cars so i stopped crying and feel i can do anything i put my mind to it. i read your instructions on how to disable the theft alarm but don’t know how to locate a floor console from a fuse box (is the floor console the glove box?) can you help or tell me where I could find a free online diagram pointing me to the correct parts or walk me through it.

i hope this is something someone like me can do myself.

thanking you in advance.

Answer
Hi Anna,
I am going by the '92 manual but it isn't highly specific. Basically you have to get to the area behind and above the glove box (which is the box at the very right hand end of the dash) because that is where the theft module is located. The floor console is a box sitting the middle, on the floor, if you have one. The glove box appears to be attached to a fuse box door opening to its left, and to the cigarette lighter/ash receiver; and the entire module comes out together. There are 10 screws that go around the module that you need to remove. It may be necessary to remove the floor console to get to the screws near the center/floor area. Then after you remove the screws and start to pull the assembly out you have to disconnect wires that go to the cigar lighter and to glove box light so that you can finally pull out the module all the way. At that point go back to the http://en.allexperts.com/q/Chrysler-Repair-807/2008/12/92-New-Yorker-anti.htm   document and follow the procedure to disarm the alarm system, start the engine, and then pull the plug on the alarm box WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. If you don't want to go though all this, then if you can disarm the system via the passenger key door lock so as to be able to get the engine running, then you can avoid getting alarmed out by never using the door key, the power door locks, or the key fob to secure the car. Only use the push buttons to lock the doors. And only use the keys to unlock the doors (turn the keys only in the unlock direction so as not to accidentally set the alarm up again.
But you can decide which way to go to get around this problem.
