Factory alarm system for 1998 Dodge
Has anyone had any experience with the optional factory installed alarm system for Dodge? We have a 1998 Dodge Roadtrek 190-Versatile that we acquired in June. It is activated by locking the vehicle with the key fob and deactivated by unlocking it with the key fob. The previous owners said it worked and described a recent event when the wife accidently set it off. I didn't test it until a few weeks after we bought it and it didn't work. The only thing I can think of is that I disconnected the van battery for a few seconds while checking the battery posts. I am wondering if this deactivated the system. I haven't found anything on the internet. The local Dodge service department rep didn't thing that disconnecting the battery would cause the problem and suggested bringing it in for a diagnosis($99). If there is an easy fix for this I'd appreciate knowing about it.
