You may need to reset the anti theft system. Key on engine off until theft light goes out. Start. See if that works.

SOURCE: 2003 dodge caravan the security system wont let

you need a chrysler bypass kit. The exact model is an xk530 this will bypass your sentry key which is not allowing your van to remote start. There are other model bypass kits out there, but xk530 is the one i prefer. You can purchase one online on ebay.com and do other searches for them

Van was stolen, key colum broken, keys gone, cant afford to replace, help please. I can get the radio on.

This may be related to the antitheft system The system is known for turning off the starter and/or injectors when it fails. Is there a light on the dash that says SECURITY? This is a common problem worth looking into. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

My 1999 pontaic Montana starts but wont stay on what could that be?

There are many symptoms which could cause this problem... electrical, fuel, ignition, etc... determine your error codes and start from there. If the Van has been sitting for some time I would add an octane booster and gas dryer, disconnect the fuel filter and allow ~ 1 gallon of gas to drain into a 2 gallon gas can, replace the fuel filter and see what happens. If that didn't work I would work through the ODB II codes to find the probable cause.

When I try to start my 2003 montana, the relay under the hood clicks but the starter will not turn. I have checked the starter assy and it is OK. I think it may be my security system acting up. Can the...

Most likely the passlock sensor will need replaced and the key reprogrammed unless you recently replaced a key that never got programmed listed below is detail instructions on reprogramming a the passlock to the key.
PASSKEY LOCKOUT RESET ALL GM CARS 1999 AND UP
1) Put the key in the ignition and turn to the "ON" position. Leave it that way for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes turn the key and take it out. Repeat this process (2) more times (3 times, 30 minutes total) This should reset the PASSKEY system to recognize your key

2003 Montana Remote & Key Programming Help ..

Ignition keys relearn takes about 30 min to do. 30-Minute Learn Procedure 1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON; the vehicle will not start. 3. Observe the SECURITY tell tale light. After approximately 10 minutes, the light will turn OFF. 4. Turn OFF the ignition switch, and wait 5 seconds. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 - two more times - for a total of 3 cycles of 10 minutes. 3x10 = 30 minutes. The vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch turn from OFF to CRANK Important: Turn the Ignition Switch OFF. The vehicle learns the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle. 6. Start the engine. The vehicle has now learned the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password. 7. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed. History DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles. Without a scan tool you may have momentary starter interruptions while history clears itself.

My 2002 pontaic grand amm wont start

I had this problem with my 2002 grand am. I had a problem with the security system. I had to turn the key forward for 10 minutes until the system reset. When it was reset...the security light would stop blinking on the dash. Then you can turn the key back and try to start it. Hope this helps. I had to take my car to the shop and have something replaced ( can't remember exactly what it was..maybe ignition switch).
