Old topic on "out of park-reverse door ajar" alarm
I recently purchased a 2004 Ram and the previous owner had the so called ""safety feature" flashed (i.e., out of park-reverse door ajar alarm) activated. I have looked on the past treads and found that all of you really enjoy this safety feature as I do!! I have not read of any satisfactory means of eliminating the feature once installed. On my 2004 fastening the seat belt does not work! I do not want to remove the horn, my dealer refuses to reverse the program, etc. etc.
Reading through the treads I saw where Chemmins, back in 2010, suggested that the door ajar wires be jumped. I like that idea and want to give it a try but do not know what wired to jump, how to remove the door panel if required, etc. to try this method. By the way I have found that the door ajar reverse alarm is only activated when the drivers door is open. Chrysler must not give a darn about the passengers!! What a great safety feature!! All they had to do is to fix the shift mechanism but that would take some engineering on their part and cost more than a little programming.
I thank all of you in advance for any help you can offer!
P.S. Yes I know that we are all suppose to be responsible drivers and keep the door closed when in reverse and yes I can hook up to a trailer or impalement using only the mirrors. So please no snide remarks!!! Just kidding!
