Recently unpluged the battery? the THEFT system will can armed... The Vehicle Theft Alarm system is designed to protect your vehicle, however, you can create conditions where the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the system will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the system.
The alarm system will be activated when the battery is connected if the system was previously armed. The exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the system.
Can check how to work this subject in your
Chrysler-Town-and-Country-Owners-Manual.
Other TC's owners comment about this same problem...
Quote: We experienced a recurrence of the vehicle not starting again. this is the 4th time within the past year. this intermittent problem seems to occur when the engine is started and stopped within a short period of time. when attempting to start the van, the engine turns over and starts but then immediately stops. it is as if an anti theft switch is engaged or the remote starter mechanism malfunctions and stops the engine. after letting the vehicle sit for an hour, it was able start up and remain running. the van was driven the next day and a powerful electrical burning smell was noticeable from the engine compartment. a faint clicking/squeaking noise was also heard in the vicinity of the alternator. the vehicle was towed into the dealership about two months ago for the same situation, but the vehicle started the next day and service was unable to determine the cause. End.
Others comment about the alarm systema, this is controled by the BCM (Body Control Module) and this device send an order to disable the fuel system, although there was no indication why. It had also disabled the starter
after the few starting attempts to prevent damage to the starter.
The start/die condition is alarm related. As I understand it, if the
alarm has been activated, it prevents the car from running. After a few
start attempts, it disables the starter all together to protect the
starter from damage. after about 40 minutes, it resets and the car will
probably start again.
Hope helps.
