Disable factory alarm on T&C?
Hey all.
I just picked up, last night, a 1999 T&C Limited. The previous owner can't find the key fobs just now, although she knows she has them. Is there a way to disable the factory alarm until I get those? It would be tremendously annoying to have to run downstairs and out to the car in my skivies to turn the alarm off with the key if I have a false trip for any reason. What are the chances of this, is the alarm only tripped if a door is opened without a key and not just if a local kid pulls the door handle or hits it with a soccer ball? Any advice would be great! |

No sweat no problem. Just drive it. They do not trip very easy.

Disable factory alarm on T&C?
OK cool. That's what i was hoping. Although I did trip it when I opened the
rear hatche tonight, but the manual says that a key in any cyclinder should disable it . Another problem for another time perhaps. On a related note, am I going to have to go to the dealer to get Key fobs programmed if the previous owner doesn't find hem? In my previous, 1993, T&C there was a wire I shorted behind the glove compartment that allowed me to program a new remote myself. Do you, or anyone else, know if a similar programming method exists on the 99 if I got fobs on eBay or similar?

Yeah sorry I should have mentioned, I already did that. I mentions
programming Fob - to - FOB but nothing about FOB-Less. I was hoping, as there often is, some backdoor trick to avoid the dealer and their $100 FOBS. "< read the owners manual it might be of some help in this issue > > nobody wrote: |
