Okay, I actually had this problem and solved it...unlike the rest of these other answers that are just there to see themselves on a board. This happened to me when I replaced the battery on my 2006 Durango. My bottom rear lights were flashing and so were my headlights (similar to hazards, but not the hazards). I also noticed that the radio was non-operational. Here is my solution (it worked for me when nothing else worked): 1. Make sure your battery terminals are on correctly and are properly secured to your battery. 2. From outside the vehicle, close all the doors to the vehicle. Make sure everything is closed properly, including the rear liftgate (the hood can stay open). 3. On your keyfob, press the red emergency button. Your car will immediately start blaring the horn and will engage the same flashing lights. 4. Press the same red emergency button to turn off the emergency light/horn sequence. 5. Then lock and unlock the vehicle (not sure this one is necessary, but this is what I did). After doing so, everything went back to normal. The rear and headlights were no longer flashing, the red dot to the right of the instrument panel was no longer flashing, etc.

You need to connect the battery. Lock and unlock the car with the remote. That will cause the ani-theft to stop flashing the lights. It does, however, stop after 3 minutes. That is, until you disturb the vehicle again. Then it starts the 3 minutes again. You need to get the remote out, and lock the doors and unlock the doors. Done.

It is acually called the vehicle speed sensor I do believe. It should should be located on the top of your transmission with a wiring harness attached to it. It should also have 1 bolt holding it in also. Whatever you do, do not rotate the gear when you remove it. Try to mark the exact way it came out when you replace the sensor. When you pull the sensor out it will have this gear attached to it which will need to be placed into the new sensor and put back into the vehicle in the same way it came out or you will throw a code and it will not be pretty. Good luck, hopefully I didn't scare you it can be a simple repair just mind your P's and Q's.

I had the same problem with my STS. Go back through your programing menu and "check" remote start again. Somehow, mine defaulted to not allowing remote start feature. It was good to go as soon as I re-programmed it.

I had a similar problem on my 2001 Caravan. Turned out to be a loose connection between the frame control module and the fuse box. I unscrewed the frame/front control module from the fuse box and bent the tabs slightly to make better contact. Then tighten down the module securley. Need star driver to loosen screws

2005 Dodge Durango security light is off but will not allow me to start?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Computers and Internet to correct vehicle category. If you write the word 'Dodge' as part of full 'year make model', scripts on the site will offer the category.

When the Security Light is activated, it flashes rapidly. It sounds to me that you have a flat battery. Do the headlights work at full brightness? What happens if you look at the headlights and someone turns the key to starter position? Get it on a battery charger for 4 hours.

2005 Dodge Durango Wont Start not the battery .Is my PCM Fried?

What is this red flashing light that you are talking about? Please specify the symbol that is in question. The owners manual has a section that covers the gauge cluster and what the warning lights mean. Is this light is a lock symbol or something referring to the vehicles anti-theft system. Could this light be the oil symbol? If this is the oil symbol then this issue could be related to low or poor oil quality (oil change needed), the oil pressure sending unit is faulty, the wiring to the oil pressure sending unit is damaged, or the oil pump or the oil pressure regulator is weak or damaged. I mentioned these two examples because they are related to a no start problem. If the engine light is on. You may obtain my diagnostic information if you have the engine codes read. Let me know how you are making out. If you have other questions please write back. good luck.
