I have a 98' Dakota. And I can't seem to start the key ignition to start up my truck. I have a feeling it has something to do with the alarm system.

 

find the alarm and pull the fuse. Usually that will allow you to start it.

 

What exactly is trk doing when you turn the key? Does it attempt to turn, make any noise like a click or nothing at all? I would go ahead and try disconnecting alarm also, but if it doesn't work, it's hard to tell what it might be to point you in the right direction without knowing exactly what it is doing.

 

is the key a factory key or a remake? i have had remake keys turn over in the ignition but got no noise or anything i just kept taking it out and trying agian until it started.
