Also happened to my '93 when I changed the battery. I believe I just cycled through the alarm set buttons on the key fob. ADDITION>>>Jump starting with a DEAD battery and the factory security system is a no go. You can do it with a WEAK battery but not a dead one... Replace the battery. OR try charging it IF it will hold a charge. But when you jumpstart it, the security system will activate when you disconnect the cables. Chrysler's engineers thought this was a good way to keep the vehicle from being stolen when the battery was removed to disable the vehicle, as normally you can simply remove the battery from a running vehicle without stalling it as long as you dont short out the positive cable. I was flabbergasted to find out that this was an intentional design precept.

Does flashing your headlights at a red traffic signal make it change to green?
No, Flashing your headlight's will have no effect on a traffic signal. The reason a traffic signal changes for emergency vehicles that have the lights flashing, is, they have a special transmitter that tells the light to change. This transmitter is connected to the emergency lights so it comes on when the lights are used.
