Asked on April 23, 2012

I think I am having trouble with my security system on my truck. What can I do to reset it?

I replaced the ignition switch. The engine starts and runs for about a second and then dies. The security light is coming on. I replaced the switch because I was having other problems, but the engine ran fine.

I looked up in the service procedure there is a way to set your alarm after to have replaced something I can not copy the set up so see if you can call the dealer and they can tell how to do it.
