How can I test my factory alarm???

[CFoster]

I know this may sound dumb, but i don't think my factory alarm is working. Any help would be great .

Sit in the drivers seat, set the alarm, wait a few moments and open the door.

leave the windows down
and set the alarm and reach in and test each door by opening via handle /lock button

I didnt even know we had an actual factory alarm.
so just sit in it, click the lock button, then manually pull up the lock and open the door? how long do you have to wait?

thanks everyone...I will try the ideas

If it was armed, not long at all, it should sound immediately. Do you not have a key fob?

Do all 6.4s have an alarm?? I was not aware of that

In 2008 it was not available on the XL, optional on the XLT, included on all others. However, you could get the dealer to install one on the XL.

In 2009 and 10, it was optional on the XL, included on all others.

In all cases, the above is based on the factory alarm, it could be upgraded to the Gold alarm which includes remote start capability and an actual siren instead of the use of the horn.
