I have a 2004 T&C limited AWD. Im wondering if I have the factory alarm, according to the van manual this is an option but having the limited package I think I should have it but the manual talks about a blinking light on the dash that is supposed to indicate the alarm is on but when I lock the van I never see this blinking light - is this an owners programable feature that I need to turn on???? Im confuse here, anyone?
If you have keyless remote it probably can be activated by the dealer with the plug in computer tool. I tried to have it done by my dealer but they refused because they feel if it wasn't listed in the features list for my vin number. So they wouldn't activate it for me.

I also have a limited edition GC. I took the van to a local dealer and had one of the tech guys activate the alarm feature for me. It took him about 5 minutes for which he wanted to charge me $80. We settled for a much more reasonable fee.
I do have keyless entry in my van - I'll have to check with the dealer, unfortunatelly the one I bought the van from closed as part of chrysler restructuring....
Quick way to check is to leave a window open. Lock the van and wait 30-60 seconds for the alarm to arm. Then pull the lock manually and open/close the door, etc. etc. If you have the alarm this should do it. I don't know how it works on the factory system (if the alarm goes off when you open the door, or when you close it) because I have an aftermarket system on mine.
Well I try it and it did not work.... When I first put the keys to start the van all the dash lights turn on as part of their self check and the alarm light in the upper right hand corner of the dash (red circle) flashes for a few seconds just like the rest of the lights in the dash.... Im wondering if the previous owner had it turned of or disable, maybe at the dealer....Any ideas?
