Question
Hi Roland,

I couldn't reply to my previous question because there was too many replies it said. Just wanted to let you know that it actually was the fuse! I believe it was the number ignition one under the hood. It was clearly blown and we replaced it and car started right up! Thank you!

Jen

Answer
Hi Jen,
Thanks for the good news! By the way as regards the alarm system you can avoid the hassle entirely if you will simply use the mechanical pushbutton on the inside of each door to secure the vehicle when you exit. Don't use the power doorlock switch, the door key, or the key fob to lock up. That way you don't 'arm' the system so you don't have the hassle when it refuses to disarm. Open it by the fob or door key, just never lock it that way.
Thanks for the rating/nomination and kind remarks.
Roland

Expertise

I specialize in Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, minivans, and SUV's for the model years 1982-2008 based upon my 50-year DIY experience, factory shop manuals and wiring diagrams. I offer fast repair advice to help you minimize repair costs by helping you diagnose and do it yourself. Problems with electronically controlled engines and transmissions as well as body wiring problems are my specialty.

I take questions one at a time between 8am and 10pm CT and attempt to answer within 20 minutes. "Maxed Out" means I am answering another question of otherwise busy, so try again later.

There are answers on file to more than sixteen thousand Chrysler questions at your finger tips: put a few key words in the "find" box (above) or click on "view past answers" for a chronological list of my q and a's. Don't use "Add to this answer" if you still have a question...ask it. As to trucks and jeeps I only have manuals for the '04-'06 model years.
