Pt cruiser disable alarm

Hello
i have two problems with my pt cruiser.

first probleem is that when i insert my key into front passenger side door and turn to unlock , the locking mechanism unlocks, then when i turn to take my key out, the locking mechanism locks back up.

it is like i can never truly unlock the passenger door.

i have to turn key and hold key turned,
then push in door handle button to open passenger door

so that is one problem

the second problem is with my alrm sytem.

i would like to totally disable the alarm system.

i have tried cleaning battery terminals, replacing fuses, replacing battery in my remote door unlock key fob. nothing so far has worked.

theissue i think revolves around electrical failure within the door locking system.

when i start my car i can not electrically lock or unlock my doors. it is if the door locking sensor gets shut off.

when i turn off my car i can lock and unlock using the keypad within the car , but not the keypad on the remote key fob.

anyway ... i just want to disable the alarm system ... that is all.

when i get out of my car ... the lights flash , the horn beeps , etc ... for about 15 minutes and then shuts down automatically ... but ... when i replaced battery in the remote key fob , i can back the alarm system go off by pressing the unlock button .... crazy stufff ... lol..

PLEASE HELP me disable pt cruiser alrm system

THANK YOU

I am having the same issue with the radio and then the check engine light came on. I read it and code p0601 which is a pcm failure so im assuming that might be the cause just a thought though.

How do I disarm the anti--theft alarm in my 2006 pt cruiser
DisARM, or DisBLE?

Disarm

Press the "Unlock" key on your key fob to deactivate the alarm and unlock the car doors. If you've lost your key fob, unlocking the driver's side door with the key automatically deactivates the PT Cruiser's alarm.

How to Disable PT Cruiser Factory Antitheft System ' It Still Runs
Disable anti-theft

Short answer, you can't!
Want to bypass your vehicle security system?
The short answer is you can't!

All modern cars have alarms and immobilizers. There is a chip in the key and a chip in the ignition lock. If both are present, the ECM (engine control module) releases power to the ignition circuit. When you turn the key, the starter spins the engine and you get a spark. If any one of those three items are not in the chain, you get the engine to turn, but no spark. There is no way to beat the system. You have to fix what is wrong, not find a way around it.


The immobilizer is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do.

How can i turn my security light off so i can start my car?
Jeremy: According to eHow.com: "
  • 1 Press the "Unlock" key on your key fob to deactivate the alarm and unlock the car doors. If you've lost your key fob, unlocking the driver's side door with the key automatically deactivates the PT Cruiser's alarm.
  • 2 Look for the black alarm box underneath the dashboard, on the driver's side of the car. Locate the override button on the box -- either a black or red button, depending on the year of the PT Cruiser -- but don't press it yet.
  • 3 Put the key in the ignition and turn the key so that the battery is on, but the engine doesn't start. Quickly push and hold in the override button until you hear the alarm sound once, indicating the alarm is disabled.

    Hi,I have a 2001 Pt Cruiser. The key fob stopped working.. replaced batteries but still no joy.The key opens the drivers door, but as soon as I remove the key it locks again.The passenger door opens and...
    get the fob checked at a dealer as this sends random signals to the ign system as part of the alarm/anti theft systems ,if ign system not getting signal the anti theft system thinks cars being stolen ,using correct key in ign lets you dive vehicle but you may be storing up more problems the longer you leave it

    2002 Pt Cruiser No Start! Alarm?
    This car is 15 years old. Personally, I have never heard of a vehicle that would do that. Try to find another vehicle that is newer. Nobody wants to get another vehicle, but it would be better than putting up with this problem.
