I’ve had this '95 Dodge Intrepid for about six months. I have started it numerous times. Yesterday I ran it once, and locked the doors manually as usual. The power door locks do not ALL work. I may have hit the lock button. Sometimes I do out of habit. I don’t know if that makes a difference to the system. The next time I went to get into the car, the alarm went off, horn honking, lights flashing, you get the picture. I have a Jeep that did that once, and I got it to shut off by locking and unlocking the passenger front door rapidly three times. That didn’t work on the Dodge. I gave up and disconnected the battery. I hooked it up again a few minutes later, and it still honked. When it’s honking, it will start and run for maybe a second. Is there a way to fix this without buying an expensive fob (or fobs) and having the dealer program it to the car? ---

When my key FOB was messed up on my 06 Charger I would have to get in the vehicle and quickly put the key in the ignition and cycle the ignition switch on then off before the alarm would shut off. transman ---

With some Subarus at least, cycling the ignition 3 times will deactivate the alarm. To get a replacement keyfob for a good price look on Ebay for one. There are plenty for sale there. ---

Do they have to be programmed by the dealer, or are they self programming like a Ford of that era?
