When I lost my key fob, I used my key for a while in the door lock and set off the security alarm a couple of times. I never had the locks go caddywompus on me though. I did work for a Dodge dealer for a short time and learned the if you turn the key back and forth it would disarm and unlock one or all locks. I forget how to do it but I hope this helps you out.

the front doors both open w/ key but rear hatch doesn't. i tryed taking disconecting neg battery cable for 5 min but still not helping. even if i leave door open then try it still sets off alarm when i turn the key. this is a factory alarm. i checked the lock cylinder electric conection at the pass door and rear hatch.maybe ive even tryed taking out relays, switching relays, checking fuses maybe i should try the ones under the dash too.

You use the drivers side door to reset the alarm not the passenger side. You can also try resetting the PCM as well.

dodge service told me to charge battery and were concerced if rear hatch was broken it might be the problem . its a $100 tow to shop from the tow company they use.

LOL....Sounds like a classic screw ya.


Do what you want and pay the man, but the drivers side is what resets the OEM alarm. Does the hatch have something to do with your particular issue, hell I don't know, but the rear hatch key tumblers are usually always frozen and the only way in is the unlock and handle lift method.

Again, reset the OEM alarm here: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...going-off.html
