Everything was working fine until about a week ago the chime started chiming constantly (fast ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.....) when I use my remote key FOB to unlock the doors and then I open the driver side door. The chiming stops when I close the door or insert the key into the ignition switch. The chime also stops if I press the Unlock Door button on the key FOB after opening the door. There are no dash lights or messages during chiming. Also, when I exit the truck and close the driver door, and then press Lock on the key FOB, the doors lock as usual, but the front amber lights flash 2 or 3 times and then they stay on for a fairly long time (about 6 to 8 minutes or so). It's as if the alarm system is detecting an unusual condition when I unlock the doors using the key FOB and then open the driver side door. If I unlock the door using just the key, and then open the door, the alarm does not sound! Does anyone have a guess what might have happened to cause this behavior? Thanks!


Edit: PROBLEM RESOLVED! I didn't know it at the time, but about a week before I posted this problem, my remote starter system went into some sort of Error mode when I accidentally started the engine, but quickly stopped it before it had a chance to fully start. I realized that yesterday when I read the instruction manual that describes every detail of the remote starter system. In order to reset the error condition, all I needed to do was to remote start the engine, allow it to run for a few seconds, then shut it down with the same button on my key FOB. After doing that, the problem with the constant ding ding ding is no longer a problem, and everything seems to be working normally now. Phewwww! I thought this might turn out to be an expensive repair job!

Glad you got it figured out. I would have suggested to disconnect the battery for a minute and see if that cleared the issue up.
