If you accidentally activate the anti-theft system in your 2012 Ram 1500 or 2500, you'll have to follow some steps to reset it. While removing the negative terminal from the battery for 15 minutes or more may help reset the system in some cases, many issues will persist. To reset the system, follow these steps: First, exit the vehicle with all doors closed and windows up. Lock the car using the driver's side door lock and move at least 10 feet away from the vehicle. Wait for fifteen minutes or longer before unlocking the door. Another option is to press the panic button for at least five seconds to reset the immobilizer, then press the lock button twice and wait at least ten feet from your vehicle for ten minutes. After that, press the unlock button twice. By following these instructions, you should be able to start your vehicle successfully.

I've been fixing up my truck and ran into rough idling and blue smoke problems. To troubleshoot, I removed the valve covers and intake manifold, disconnected all electronic wiring. Unexpectedly, the antitheft system activated and recognizes my key fob, which lights up the dashboard and flashes the red security light. What should I do next?
