For no apparent reason our 98 Durango set off the security system 2 weeks ago. Have tried all that we can including taking it to dealer...no phob...and can't get one as the computer won't let the service tech talk to the computer therefore it can't reprogram a new phob...didn't even know this car had a security system...took drivers side door off and don't see anything out of the ordinary...have heard tell of a reset switch under steering wheel, does anyone know what this would look like or where it would be...will be happy for any info or new ideas to try.

 

try this

 

What shrpshtr325 quoted is correct. It should say in the owners manual to. I had to with mine also, if it is reset correctly when you unlock it with the key the horn will beep 3 times. You might have to disconnect the battery and manually lock all the doors before you try the procedure.

 

If the alarm is "Factory" then that quote will reset the system, but if it's aftermarket then you will have to completely remove it.

 

Using the key did not work but we used a schematics that a friend printed from a dealer site and found an orange wire with a green stripe on it bypassed that and then using a fuse tester we re directed from a square black fuse in the motor mounted fuse box and now we are just hoping it all works till we have it paid for. Thank you all for your ideas.
