This only happens in the afternoon after my truck (a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.9 liter V8 engine) has been sitting in the hot sun all day… when I hit the remote unlock switch, the alarm goes off… it cancels when I hit the unlock switch again and doesn’t seem to happen in the morning or when it is cooler… other than my truck might be possessed, any ideas? Thanks.

I've got a 98 1500 5.2 and my alarm died about a year ago. I've heard that alarm/ keyless entries are only good for so long, i live in florida and the same thing happened to e before it completely went to hell. might be time for a new system.

 

I have a problem with me truck. I have a 2001 Ram 1500 Crew Cab. As I was looking at this thread it seemed to be happening to allot of people. My problem is that from time to time and recently about every 2 days the alarm on the truck will go off for no reason. Sometimes it happens when I try to unlock the doors. I thought that maybe I had hit the panic button but when I hit it the panic alarm goes off. I thought that maybe the battery in my FOB was low so I took the FOB apart and did not put it back together and it did it at about 3 AM this morning. I do not have remote start. This is really pissing my wife off. I am currently looking for a fuse that I can take out and I will just use my key to get in. If anyone has any good ideas that would be great.
