My 03 Ram has this red blinking light which im assuming is security but when i go to turn the key over the truck wont even turn over and this light just blinks is there anything i can do to get it outta protection mode or whatever its doing??
Do you have an after market alarm? I'm gonna assume you don't have a key fob. Sometimes if it's an aftermarket alarm, they put somewhere under the dash a valet button. Mine when you turned the key to the first position and pressed the button at the same time it would disable the alarm manually. Maybe other thing you may be able to do is look on your starter and/or fuse box and see if there's a wire going to an alarm box and take it off.
Ya i had a alarm starter put in it but the alarm/starter isnt hooked up right now and the i dont have a factory key fob because im assuming this truck has no factory alarm
I had the same thing....just meant the battery was dead. Replaced the battery and all was good. Take a look in the little battery fluid checker on top of your batter and see if theres anything in it. Chances are there isnt.
well the truck had lots of power wasnt dead but the battery cable wasnt tight. The thing is i just got a different immobilizer put in the truck because the guy that did the command start broke it some how... so i got a used one and its the same as my old one.... so im just wondering if it has anything to do with it.... But even if your battery is low it wont even try to start?
All you should need on the starter is the main wire, and the one from the ignition. Any other wires, I would take off and see what happens. You may also try taking the positive wire off the battery and replacing it, and see if that resets the system. Just a thought.
