Hello everybody?

I just had my RL broken for the second time. I was wondering why I couln't hear the alarm going on so I decided to test. Seems like something could be off as I can 'lock' the car, see the red light in the dashboard blinking and literally open the doors, start the truck and well... do everything normal. I have no idea if I ever had an alarm to be honest in any case I'm thinking I'll buy a new viper alarm system. My lock has been broken twice already in 6 months span so I guess I'll leave it broken, hopefully my battery won't die anytime soon. Thanks for your help and comments!

You could diagnose why the security system is not arming itself.
When you close all the doors and hoot, press panic on the button, does it do anything?
- My RT used to blare its horn.
Leave a door open and hit lock and see what happens.
- my 2010 RT will honk rapidly to let me know it is not locked.

If you want to get it diagnosed by a reputable shop that installs electronics, remote start and security systems, then it would be wise. You can also check the dealer prior to the aftermarket, but I am sure the bill will be high just to diagnose the issue.
