The 2008 Dodge Caliber does not come with a resettable anti-theft ignition system. Instead, it operates using a key that is specifically paired with the vehicle. Should you attempt to use a different key, it will need to be programmed to work with your vehicle. If you are having trouble starting the vehicle with your key, you may have an aftermarket anti-theft system installed. You will need to determine the manufacturer of the system and find the appropriate steps for its use.
To re-activate the anti-theft system on a 2008 Dodge Caliber, insert the key into the driver's side door lock, turn it to unlock the door, then lock and unlock the door again.
How do I deactivate the anti-theft alarm on my vehicle?
The driver's side door lacks a keyhole, as it only has a lock on the passenger side door.
