Alarm not arming

[sleepersn95]

I have the same problem one FOB works the other doesn't??? Go figure.

I have this problem often with my 99 RT/10. I replaced the batteries in both fobs and that appears to have helped a bit... at least I can do the two-button thing to reset it when it dies. Definitely an inconvenience, though.

I was going to bring the car to a dealer to have it looked at, but it hasn't bothered me _that_ much... it is an RT/10 and the top is usually off anyway.

details...

Good luck! I'll be interested to hear the outcome.

I have had that happen to me as well. In my case, it was the hood. I hadn't closed it completely, and the right front corner was not quite latched down tight. Click the hood latch, slam the hood again (gently!), and try to lock the car.

If it is a door, hood or hatch switch that is preventing the alarm from arming, you can tell by locking the doors from the inside switch before closing them. If the alarm turns on, then your fob is the problem. If not, then you have a door/hood/hatch closure switch which needs an adjustment.
