If the alarm system in your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 isn't working, the first step is to try resetting it. This is easily done by turning the vehicle to the on position with the engine off and waiting for the anti-theft light on the dashboard to turn off, typically in about a minute. Once the light goes out, you can start the truck. If you experience persistent issues with the alarm system, it's advisable to take the vehicle to a Dodge dealership. There may be an issue with the body control module, requiring a dealer-level tool to program a new alarm system for the truck.

I've got a 2008 Dodge Ram that someone tried to break into, and they messed up the anti-theft part around the ignition. I went to a junkyard, got another one, installed it, but the light is still blinking, and the truck won't start. How can I reset the module so it will work with my key and start the truck?

Here's a paraphrased version with a unique twist:
Grab the key and switch the car ignition to the on position. Keep the key turned for ten minutes until the light blinks. After that, remove the key and wait for a quick five seconds. -

It seems like my alarm system is automatically turning on my truck's headlights and taillights. I've noticed that the alarm doesn't beep when I lock the truck, and the engine continues to run for 15 to 20 seconds after I turn it off. The cruise control isn't functioning properly either. Occasionally, I'm able to restore functionality by playing around with the lock button inside the truck and pressing the buttons on the key fob. Even after getting a new battery, the lights turned on by themselves once more. To address this, I had to disconnect the positive terminal and will need to reconnect it when I plan to drive. Can you provide instructions on how to reset the alarm for a 2005 Dodge 1500 truck?
