Hello folks,
My new '06 Ram DRW 3500 Bighorn edition came with the sentry chipped keys, and on the dash the red "security" light lights up when starting, but it does not have the factory alarm programed in the truck, nor is it listed as an option on the window sticker for my truck. Is there a way to program this, or does it need to be done at the dealership? Is it even possible or does the truck need additional hardware? Thanks in advance, and I tried a search but did not come up with the answers I was looking for.

 

i could be wrong but i believe you need the alarm hardware installed

my 05 has the alarm as an option also but with out the cpu for the alarm it doesn't function, on your factory sticker from the window see if you paid for the alarm

 

No it's not on the window sticker. It does also have the keyless entry too.
Thanks RB

 

The security light comes on for the initial bulb check. Q, does your wait to start and water in filter light come on at abulb check? Mine do not, just wondering if its just mine or all of them.

 

living in AZ, your wait to start light may never come on. i believe it is only needed under 64 degrees.

 

I figure it should light up on the initial bulb check. We do get pretty cold Dec.-Mar. early in the morning.

 

Mine does come on first thing the morning after sitting overnight, but afterthat throughout the day it does not. I am in Colorado.

 

I think this is what you looking for, click on alarms/security and you will find it.

I think that that type of alarm systm is looking for your key if it dosent get a signal from your keyless entry key the truck will only run for 2 min
