And the 1-800-chrysler # is just for dealer info. they couldent tell me anything or about anybody I could call for info. Sorry to post this if it really is'nt possible but I know what I drove and It just dos'nt seem right that one did make a noise and the rest dont. Maby they did do something to it but if you seen the dealer you could under stand why I have to ask.
Thanks
According to the '04 Repair Manual, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) button will activate the door locks, alarm and turn signal lamps. The system checks a number of items such as both door latches, liftgate, hood, glove box, etc. to ensure that they are engaged before activating the alarm and turn signal lamps. There also is reference to the fact that if any one of these items is not properly engaged, the siren will be activated.
My guess is that when you pressed the remote button, there must have been something not engaged for the alarm activation to be completed and as a result the siren (alarm) sounded for a split second to alert you of this status.
Another interesting point that this manual makes is that if you press the remote to unlock the doors, deactivate alarm and do not open doors, the doors will automatically re-lock after 40 seconds of no action. How many of us knew that was a feature?
