Question

If the alarm on a truck goes on and off for almost two hours, could the battery go dead?

Community Answer

No. The car alarm uses such a small amount of energy from the battery that it would have to go off for days at a time in order to kill the battery entirely.

Question

I finally got my Durango car alarm to stop going off but now the Durango will not stay running. Will this go away after a period of time and then allow me to restart my vehicle?

Community Answer

Once the vehicle is running, the car alarm should not turn it back off. You should have your alarm diagnosed by a professional to determine the cause of the issue.
