    Sorry, was a poor funny joke. To me it sounds like a bad connection at the battery end or the power distribution module (where the fuses and relays are under the hood.) Good the check under it if you can do so as well as the main connections.

You turn your key on for 30 minutes to reset the alarm.

Sometimes turning the ignition on 3 times quickly without starting will reset the computer. If the van has power locks and keyless entry then try using only the keyless entry. Sometimes your car wont have a alarm but an anti theft device which will not allow it to start if it goes off or something triggers it.

My 2008 dodge ram 1500 will not start, but sometimes it does start, I 've had the starter checked, and my battery is good. So why won't my truck start?

Is there a red light on in the instrument cluster when the truck fails to start? If so, then the security system is setting a code that shuts down the starting system because it sees the truck being stolen. May want to check for security system trouble codes.

My 2010 ram will not start with the key in the ignition.. only with the remote start???

Sounds like the Remote has Bypassed the Security System and once started, the Immobilizer is then become inoperative seeing that it got it's input from the Remote System itself.

Now when you attempt to start the truck with the KEY ONLY, it will not start. Look at the "Security" light when you are turning it over... Is it flashing or does it turn On or is it Completely Off?

Here is what I would do... Try your Other Key, if the SECOND KEY works, then your key has failed. If NEITHER KEY works, then your Immobilizer CODE is gone and for some reason as the REMOTE has bypassed the system it is allowing your to operate the truck.

When did the problem start to occur?

I drove the car to my mothers yesterday, went to my dads got there just finr. We went to leave and the car won't start turn over nothing. The security light is flashing. My dad could get it to start from...

you need to get a new ign. lock cylinder and chip key. Or you can get a lock cylinder and copy your old key with a regular key no chip. Take new cylinder, put old chip key in it. Plug into harness at the bottom of steering column just behind the dash, fine orange wire from existing one in the column. Hide lock cylinder under dash and start car with copy of old key.

Security light flashing and car won't start now

does it start at all, or does it run for about 1 second and shut off? if the latter, then it's the passlock system, and he could have a defective key or security module. the keys have a predetermined resistance value which activates the passlock system to prevent hotwiring. If it is the passlock system, then sometimes you have to wait 15-20 mins for it to reset before starting the engine.

Batt went dead /recharged now security light stays on when ing is

You need to reprogram the security system. Hook up a battery charger. Turn the key on, the security light should flash. Leave the key on until the light stops flahing.(11 minutes) Turn the key off for 20 sec. Turn the key on, do the same thing a second time, turn the key off. Turn the key on. Do this a third time. After the third 11 minutes and the light is off, Start the truck.

2002 Honda Odyssey security alarm system

Make sure your hood is shut. I just got my 2002 Honda Odyssey back from the dealer today (90,000 mile check-up - I love my van and will drive it until it dies!) and when I went to lock the van with my remote transmitter, the lights didn't flash and the horn didn't sound. I open and closed all the doors and tailgate and I could hear that the doors were locked, but the security system wasn't working and that is why the lights didn't blink or the horn didn't sound. I walked up to the front of the van to check the hood to make sure it was closed (there isn't an indicator light for an open hood, only open doors) and the hood wasn't shut completely. Once I opened the hood and let it drop to securely shut, I hit the door lock button on the remote and everything worked like a charm! Hope this helps others in this predicament.
