my girlfriend has a 2000 durango which has been sitting for two years. She has lost the "FOB" for the security system. I have a spare key and have had it running as of late. there seems to be a problem with the factory alarm since it is now locking doors and activating on its own.

I can no longer get it to disarm which is keeping me from starting it. Please....... does anyone out there know how to disable this thing so I can start it and drive it to the dealer for repair. I can't afford to have it towed that far

 

any help can be emailed directly to me at galle6020@gmail.com


thanks

 

Did you try turning the key in all the door lock to deactive the system?

 

the locks locking and unlocking on their own is not a feature of the alarm system, it is a sign that the CTM is failing, the CTM is what controls the alarm system, and sounds like it needs to be replaced.

 

Yes I did try putting key in other locks. Does nothing.

Is replacing the CTM a expensive fix?

 

yes its a dealer only part since it needs to be programmed, i believe the last i heard as $400+

 

if you look in the diy section there are instructions on how to reset the alarm
