Got a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500, having an issue now for about 6 months. It only happenes in the mornings and that is I go out and unlock my truck and the alarm will go off?!?! After the first unlock of the day the alarm wont go off anymore. Is it a short somewhere? Has someone come across this problem? Its just annoying as hell hearing it go off every morning and waking up the neighbors. Any help will be great.


Thanks -

haha what the hell its so annyoing -

ok if you have keyless entry, take the key out of the ignition and lock the doors using the button on the door panel. shut the doors. wait a minute and unlock the drivers side door with the key, i know it works on jeeps and VW's and some fords. but both locks should pop up at the same time. should fix your problem.

let me know how it works. -

ok i did it now we just gotta wait for the morning to see if it works -

im soo trying this right now... ill let you know too. cause this is getting really annoying -

ok sounds good -

didnt do it this morning maybe a flook will give another update tomorrow -

yea you cant use the keyless entry at all. give it another try im pretty sure it should work. -

have had no luck with anything yet? anyone else got anything i have been trying what DieselDanBoy said every night yet. Anyone got anything else -

ok i trust your doing it as i said. im thinking maybe there's a code? have someone hook a scanner to it and see what comes up. let me know what happens -

Have you checked the door contacts? Maybe there is grease, rust, corrosion? make sure they work. sounds like it goes into nuisance prevention after the first alarm. Have you checked the battery voltage at the alarm unit.
I assume it is the factory alarm, right? -

there are no codes..... now with the door contacts that makes sense i think one of my door latches is bad... where do i look at the contacts at? i think i should replace the two rear suicide latches they dont lock right -

ok man sorry i couldnt help, diesel stink3r knows more than i do about it. -

ok thanks for trying.... not sure why i got moved out of the other thead to here -
