I've checked cables and even I have a module demases sentry keys but nothing new, but have estimated some idea of what may be happening, even all the fuses and relays are ok.

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors and ignition for
unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the
system provides both audible and visual signals. The
horn will sound repeatedly for 3 minutes and the headlights
and security light in the instrument cluster will
flash for an additional 15 minutes. The engine will not
run until the system is disarmed.

To Set the Alarm:
The alarm will set when you use the power door locks or
use the Keyless Entry transmitter to lock the doors. After
all the doors are locked and closed, the security light in
the instrument cluster will flash rapidly to signal that the
system is arming. The security light in the instrument
panel cluster will flash rapidly for about 15 seconds to
indicate that the alarm is being set. After the alarm is set,
the security light will flash at a slower rate to indicate
that the system is armed.

NOTE: If the security light stays on continuously during
vehicle operation, have the system checked by your
dealer.

To Disarm the System:
Use the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter to unlock the
doors. If something has triggered the system in your
absence, the horn will sound three times when you
unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tampering.
The security system will also disarm, if the vehicle is
started with a programmed Sentry Key. If an unprogrammed
Sentry Key is used to start a vehicle, the engine
will start and run for 2 seconds and then shut down.
After six unsuccessful attempts at starting the engine, the
system will shut down until the correct key is used. To
exit alarming mode, press the transmitter Unlock button
or start the vehicle with a programmed Sentry Key.
The security alarm system is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, the alarm
will sound when you pull the door handle to exit.

NOTE: You may accidentally activate the security system
(horn sounds and lights flash) by entering the vehicle
without using the key fob to unlock the door(s). The
security system can be disarmed with the key fob’s
UNLOCK button or by inserting a programmed Sentry
Key into the ignition and turning the key to the ON
position.


Now if you have an aftermarket alarm system, that is a whole different issue.
Way to quote the owners manual... Wat if we don't have the original transponder keys. If we did then we more than likely wouldn't be on here now would we

Way to dig up a 9 year old thread. Do you have anything helpful to add?

Well Played....

Thanks for mentioning the post is that old. I was going to mention locksmiths that specialize in key's and programming, etc...

But your response was much better :-)

Have a fantastic day!
