hello i just found your site through google,and it seems as though you guys have alot of very useful info on here.The question I have is in regards to a 2000 dodge caravan se that i purchased used,it is an automatic,with 182,000 miles on a 3.3 liter engine,and the van runs great,but the anti theft system keeps wanting to arm itself. I disconnected the ground wire from the alarm speaker under the hood,but that just makes it to where i don't hear it arming itself and i am worried that the battery will go dead due to the constant arming and disarming of the system.what could be the cause of this problem,and is it something i can fix myself or do i need to take to a dealer? thank you for any help you can give me with this.

Try turning your ignition key to the ON position
with out starting the car,then flip the valet switch
( under the dashboard) to the oposite position that it is in now.) Remove key & wait for the LED light to flash every 5 secs. If it does, It should now be in the override mode & the car should start.

Good Luck,
