This is where it gets a little tricky. Chrysler (especially) has been known to incorporate the anti-theft device in the pcm, assuming it IS a factory alarm. If it was dealer installed, then you're gonna have to get a schematic for the ignition system, hunt down the wires that have been spliced into, and bypass the anti-theft module. Again, if it is indeed a factory-installed module, there may be a problem. Removing bits that the pcm has gotten used to hurts its feelings, and makes it go on strike.

actually if u dont want your alarm to go off when u lock the doors u need to lock all the doors from the inside instead of the driver side lock it from the outside then unlock the doors and tell me if that works

My car's cable to pop the hood was frozen in place due to sub-zero weather. And the batery was dead. Can't start the car without getting a jump first. It was a ring of hopelessness. Eventually me and friend figured out how to open the hood.

ANSWER: If you look in the grill you should actually see the hood latch mechanism and the cable coming out of it. Now the cable has two parts which I'll call the wire and the sleeve. (The wire runs inside the sleeve) Take a long screwdriver and pry the sleeve away from the piece holding it in place. The wire should still be connected to whatever it's connected to. Now just pull the cable with a pliers or channel lock and it'll open.

Now this is on a 2001 P.T. Cruiser, non-special edition. I'm not sure if this same procedure will work on newer models or Limited and Touring editions.

2. I had the same problem but the cable had come loose from the catch. You can look thru the grill and see where the cable goes and just behind it is where the cable end goes. I sprayed it with WD40 and used a metal rod with a hook on the end, inserted it into the hole and pulled, opening it with no problem. You could also remove either the 2 bolts holding the top of the latch to the hood or the 2 holding the receiver to the crossmember, these 2 are not bolts but threaded rod with nuts on them and they are a bitch to get to and one blocks the removal of the upper bolt and I going to replace them with regular bolts in case this happens again

The PT stands for and designates the car's platform as well as production code. The name also recalls the 1930s line of Plymouth Trucks known by the "PT" moniker.

Personal Transportation

Whether the initials assumed this meaning by design or chance is another matter.the "PT" is also the company's internal designation for the platform. Apparetly, the Cruiser was developed along with the Neon, which was built on the PL platform. The Cruiser platform was thus designated "PT" with the "T" standing for "Tall" to designate the tall profile of the vehicle

If you do not have a hitch you can go with the Thule Backpac 973. This will work, but can cost more than your bike. Also, because of the cost, virtually no Thule retailers will have this item on stock. You will most likely have to order it from Thule on-line. It may be easier just to get a different car.

Start checking your fuse's one could be blown.

Also check for loose, or open connectors in the back. They might have been disconnected if any work was performed in that area of the car.

Removing spark plugs on a pt cruiser. the throttle body has 3 13mm bolts The throttle body on my 2003 was held to the bracket with only 2 13mm bolts. My 2004 non-turbo has only one. Per a commenter at ptcruiserlinks.com plugs should be torqued to 13 ft/lb +/-2. Per Chrysler, the plugs should be gapped at 0.040" I found the spark plug wires very difficult to remove, but with persistence, I was able to get them off the plugs. Try twisting then back and forth while pulling. There is nothing special about the way they're connected. It's just that the rubber boot seems to adhere to the top of the plug.

My 04 PT that we have had since new, has done the same thing 2 or 3 times since we purchased it. I found that disconnecting and reconnecting the battery cables will reset this problem and it operates normally afterward..Greg Mn

On a 2004 PT Cruiser it is just ahead of the air filter. Remove the air filter cover to service the battery.

This is a common failure on 201 and 123 chassis. Check the hood switch is closing. Check the trunk closes fully. The drivers door lock is often faulty. If it still goes off, disconnect the alarm module...located under the passengers foot well relay cover. New modules are over $500.00.
If you have an alarm that is set buy turning the key to lock the door you need to open the same door you locked to take the alarm off. If you unlock the passanger door, trunk or rear doors after locking the driver side door the alarm will go crazy. To get it to turn off, lock and unlock the door you first locked before the alarm went off.
