Ok, Im confused. Sitting here eating, and the dog starts barking. She does that when she hears a car pull up. Maybe the daughter stopping by? So I go to open the door, and nothing. But my truck is running!! Huh?? Keys in my pocket, doors locked. Go inside. No key. Ignition locked. #_-@+!!!!!!
Step on the brake, a feature we had on pur cop cars. Take the key and engine stays running.
So what the hell? I dont have a remote start, or does it? 2008 Ram.

The TIPM can do strange things when begin to fail, it controls just about everything electrical on the truck

That happened on my 2011 Liberty several years ago, but it had remote start. Good luck,

Well, i found put the truck does have remote start but the key fobs I have dont have a button, just lock, unlock and panic alarm. Gotta see about new fobs.
Meanwhile, what activated by it. Since the truck was given to me by my stepdaughter, I'm betting her dad Ski ( on right), my best friend, is messing with his ex......heheheheh
