Lost the remote entry fob. Unlocked the door with the key. Alarm went off. How do you reset the system?

the dash lamp marked SECURITY IS DEAD all the time.keyon and off? fuse #2 missing,(security fuse)?
remove the remote battery so the bad buttons in FOB do not trip the alarm
I',m sure you mean factory alarm is in the car.
in USA we can scan the OBD2 port and see why any alarm tripped.
lots of ways there are, door switches, etc.
lost the users manual tell you on most cars the alarm need be enabled. and how.
most say , open the door with good fob.
then do not lock the door using fob and alarm is not active.
but with a dead fob how? (car came new with 2 fobs) lost 2nd?
my answers are for USA spec cars only, not world wide. ever.

doors with keyless entry system is what they call this.
fob locks. simple
have you examined the whole car for wiriing harness hacks that put in any kind of 1000 aftermarket alarms here, this is first.
is the horn honking? the same horn the steering well uses
or some other horn hacked in to car. ( we inspect all this first)

the factory ETACS as its own fob RECEIVE inside (antanna)
there are 3 fuses to ETACS.
fuse 22 do not pull that it kills vast other things too.
Fuse 2 and fuse 15 goes there but not sure what happens pulled
but seems the interior door lock buttons go dead. doing that..

here is my only cure.
pull the battery NEG lug for 1hour, or more even overnight
see if ETACS , resets (well it sure will) but do so and not go into alarm and first remove the FOB battery (on all fobs for this car)


see fob guts below
1 coin cell there , remove it,
now bad buttons do not cause system to fail.
open doors only with metal key.
all instructions for this car assume the below is not bad.
and buttons love to fail even SHORTED.(BAD)

To arm content theft alarm.
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
SECURITY light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.

Ok just the battery was replaced do you have a key fob remote control to stop the horn/alarm from sounding if no this is why your stuck in theft mode if you do have one make sure the battery in it is good and the contacts are tight against the battery disc inside it,next you must disconnect the battery cables and wait 3-5minutes then reconnect them when the alarm/horn sounds stop it with the remote and you'll be out of theft mode, if you just got a new fob it has to be programmed into the system by turning your key from off to on real fast until your door locks cycle this is about 8 times in 20 seconds then when the door locks cycle press any button on the remote control to cycle the locks again (lock/unlock)and now the fob is programmed into the system and the battery cable process must be repeated again if you have the manual it tells you the amount of key turns needed but just keep doing it you must be fast and the locks will cycle door code in comments

Keyless entry/panic button/alarm - Dakota Durango Forum

The dealer usually has a contractor that deals with remote entry systems on scheduled days. Most places like carmax do too for about $75-100. Try carmax first. I'll bet you'll save money.

Check to see if your vehicle honks when you press the "lock" button on your key fob. Press the "lock" button multiple times in a row. Many devices won't beep unless you double-tap the button after locking. If the horn doesn't honk, but the lights flash, your chirp feature is probably disabled.

Use your keyless fob and ignition key to enable the audible chirp. The process varies considerably on different makes and models. You must usually consult your owner's manual, a dealership or the alarm manufacturer for the correct process.

Hi Edward:
In dashboard, your THEFT warning light is blinking? If the answer is yes, your antotheft system is activated and will need restart and resynchonized. This occurs when battery is disconneting or other un-authorized key is used.

Vehicles equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) are protected from vehicle theft andunauthorized entry. VTSS system monitors vehicle doors, hood, liftgate and ignition. If an attempt is made toenter or operate vehicle without proper disarming of system, vehicle horn will sound, headlights, taillights andparking lights will flash, and engine will be prevented from running.

VTSS system arms when ignition is off, vehicle is exited, door is locked using power door locks and door isclosed. Alternatively a remote keyless entry transmitter can be used to arm system. A security light on panelwill flash for 15 seconds to indicate system is arming. At the end of 15 seconds, if no door, hood or tailgate isopened, system is armed.

If alarm is triggered, horn will sound for 3 minutes, and lights will flash for an additional 15 minutes. If hornsounds 3 times when either front door is unlocked, vehicle has been tampered with (tamper alert). If doors arelocked manually or with key, system will not arm (manual override). If an unauthorized entry does occur, VTSSsystem signals Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to prevent vehicle from being driven. PCM reduces injectorpulse width to zero, causing a start and stall condition.

System can be disarmed with the keyless entry transmitter, or by using key to enter vehicle. In both instances, if alarm was activated, vehicle alarm will be terminated. If battery is disconnected and reconnected, alarm will beactivated and it will be necessary to disarm system as indicated.

Please, send us some email account to send you this procedure in PDF format file.

You do have a security system. This should be transponder type security system, I don't believe it will start without key fob. There is an inhibitor relay for your starter motor circuit and security system. Check for applicable trouble codes, if there are any? Maybe you local dealership, talk to service department, see if they can get you a key fob. Go at it that way. I don't know about the cost?
You can usually jump the starter motor to see if it will crank the engine, but, that doesn't mean it will start. If you try that, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set. Safety is your responsibility.

Starting System
The function of the starting system is to crank the engine at a speed fast enough to allow the engine to start. Heavy cables, connectors and switches are used in the system because of the large currents required.
The starting system consists of a gear reduced starter motor, battery, remote control switch (ignition switch) and relay.
Vehicles equipped with automatic transaxle have a transmission range sensor attached to the circuit which prevents operation of the starter motor unless NEUTRAL or PARK are selected.
Vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle have a start inhibit switch in the starter control circuit, which prevents operation of the starter motor unless the clutch pedal is in the applied position.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The anti - theft protection system provides protection from unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment.
The system is controlled by an anti - theft alarm control. When armed, unauthorized entry into the vehicle is detected by lamp switches.
Once triggered, the system flashes the headlamps, the parking lamps, the alarm indicator, and sounds the horn. In addition, the starter circuit is disabled to prevent starting the vehicle until the system is disarmed.
System Arming
The system will be armed by the remote entry transmitter when the following input sequence is followed:

1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the key.

1. Close all doors (unlocked).

1. Press the LOCK button on a transmitter to lock doors. Alarm warning lamp will turn on.

1. Wait for the anti - theft warning lamp to turn off.

The system will also be armed when the following input sequence is followed:

1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the key.

1. Open a door. Alarm warning lamp will flash.

1. Lock doors with power door switches. Alarm warning lamp will now glow steadily.

1. Close all doors.

1. Wait for the anti - theft warning lamp to turn off.

Opening any door will activate the alarm after the alarm is armed.
Disarming an Untriggered System
The system can be disarmed by performing one of the following procedures.

• Driver or RH front door is unlocked with a key.
• Driver door is unlocked by pressing the UNLOCK button of a remote entry transmitter.
• If remaining in the vehicle, turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC position.

System Triggering
The armed alarm system will be triggered if any door is opened without using a key or a remote entry transmitter to unlock the door first.
Disarming a Triggered System
Carry out either of the following steps will disarm the triggered alarm system.

• Driver or RH front door is unlocked with a key.
• Driver door is unlocked by pressing the UNLOCK button of a remote entry transmitter.

Two minutes and 45 seconds after the system has been triggered, the horns and exterior lamps will shut off automatically. The system will then reset to an armed state and will trigger again if another intrusion occurs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)
The Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS), known as SecuriLock, is fully passive in operation and requires no special procedures by the driver to arm or disarm the system. It is invisible to normal scrutiny and is operated by a transponder within the key body. This communicates with the module through a transceiver mounted around the ignition switch lock barrel.
The PATS functionality is incorporated within the powertrain control module.
PATS keys contain an electronic device inside, and are physically larger than a non-PATS key.
The transponder code reading is carried out when the key is inserted into the ignition lock barrel, and turned from position 0' to position II' or III' to crank the engine. If the PCM receives the correct code signal, the engine will start. Should the code received not be recognized, the engine will not crank as the PATS is still armed and the engine immobilized.
Anti-Theft Indicator
Whenever the ignition is switched on the anti-theft indicator will remain on for three seconds while the system carries out an initial ignition key-read.
The anti-theft indicator will flash rapidly for three seconds to indicate the PATS has immobilized the vehicle.
For additional information on the PATS fault codes, refer to the Diagnosis and Testing section.

you may have a bad door switch, theres a switch on the drivers door lock, when door is unlocked with fob or key the switch is activeated to shut alarm down,the lock moves to hit switch with key or fob,so if the switch is bad it will not shut down alarm, i would start there,door panel has to be remove,then latch has to be remove to get to switch, then test with a meter see if it opens and closes the connection, hope this helps.
