Hi Glenn:

When you say scan tool, do you mean OBDII scanner ?

I am told by the seller and the owner's manual notes it that the vehicle is
equipped with a factory installed theft alarm that monitors doors and the hatch
and has an audio component and a vehicle disablement feature.

The triggering of alarm may be just random because if the vibration should set
it off, it should trigger it most of the time doors/hatch/hood are shut, but it
does not, in fact most of the time when we unlock the vehicle with the remote,
it turns off the security and it does stay that way until the vehicle re-arms
itself after all doors remain closed for sometime.

The interesting thing is that the vehicle has an Avital brand remote and not a
Chrysler remote and its panic button does not work, and it appears (my thought)
that the false triggering may the turning on of the panic mode.  I am hoping
that getting a properly functioning remote might solve this problem.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Matt

unless you know how to read the flashing lites for the factory alarm

Hi:

You might be right.  My info is based on what the seller told me and I am
reading the Owner's manual for model year 2004 and applying it to 1999, because
that is what I have been able to find.  Interestingly, everything else from this
manual ( grange door opener programming etc.) applied very well to the 1999.

Your observation is also corroborated by the fact that the remote that I
received with the vehicle is a very flimsy transmitter of Avital brand (not a
Chrysler brand).

I guess, I have to find a manual for 1999 first.

Matt
