THE RED DOT MEANS ANTI-THEFT IT CAN GO ON FOR A NUMEROUS THINGS, BUT MOST COMMON IS DUE TO THE COMPUTER OR KEY NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED AS FOR ME I REPROGRAMMED MY KEY AND WORKED LIKE A CHAMP I REPLACED A COUPLE DIFFERENT COMPUTERS DUE TO HAVING EXTRAS BUT THEN I JUST REPROGRAMMED MY KEY AND WORKED..just an FYI
My 200 just did this. I washed the key in my washer and dryer and it turns on but shuts off. After a second or 2 and strays again and turns on. Just has that red dot
This just happened to my dodge neon...funny thing is it starts after a few tries as if nothing happened. Drives fine and everything. It's in the shop now and they are baffeled by it. I will let them know that it could be the PCM
I had that problem and read that if you have two FOB one may tell the computer that you are tiring to steal the car and it shuts down take off all but the FOB for that car and try it again. it worked for us on a Neon.
Have an xtool to program vin and keys....says program successful...then go to live data and keys programmed: 0 Tried skim delete computer....3 cranks 2 secs run time them dies now no crank any help? Thanx
Ok maybe you could help me out or anybody who reads this.. I have 2004 dodge neon.. it didn't want to start for me and when I turned the key to start it read fuse on the odometer.. then.. my brother had said it has to be the battery.. so he charged it and it turned on.. and then later that day.. turned it on but it took a few tries to start.. then the next day.. it didn't want to turn on at all and no lights on dashboard.. what could it be? Help! TIA
Hi sorry for the late reply, first of a check all your fuses, second if you don't have no lights in the dashboard your ignition key went bad , this happened to me and I bought it in AutoZone and changed it myself. there's a few videos that Helps plus its not that hard to change, good luck.
David Lopez , check your cables, chassis cables on the top near ur headlight, both side, might be corroded, check your computer and the check engine code, my problem was the computer the ECM PCM
I hit a pot hole and now I have a pcm code I changed the cam sensor and crank sensor but the red light is on and it's not getting spark still I dont have the money to get a new pcm and I need to get this pos running like 2 days ago ????? Any ideas please
@@sincerelyenyel I'm having the same issue .. Can I put a ECM from the junkyard in a replacement of my old one do the codes have to match or as long as its the matching model ECM
First off thank you, out of thousands and thousands of videos. Of how to take off a security red light. There are only two effing videos maybe three, out of thousands! Wish I could make one myself since I'm having a problem and looking for a solution. For a 2001 Dodge Neon. I had to replace the ignition key switch. The old ignition key switch metal tabs which are supposed to be replaced by new metal tabs, the old ones in the old switch are unreadable! Go figure! Who knows how I can get the original manufacturers key ignition switch codes? There are eight tiny metal tabs. I would like to know the original numbers, my particular Dodge Neon 2001, left the factory with? How would I be able to look this up? Google doesn't have an answer, CZcams surely doesn't have it. I must have watched nearly a hundred or so videos. Any helpful suggestions for my dilemma?
I was the same problem, my Grand Voyager, 2002, 2.5 CRD. The problem was dead ( corrode) cable, from computer to PCM relay! I fixed the cable and everything worked!
Alfredo Marin theres alot to check, check the cables for any corrosion on the metals on top, check the fuses and relays, check the computer cables( the computer is under the radiator, i believe on the driver side) if no solution, check ur computer for failure. My problem was a dead computer (ecm)
Yes, it work but before you buy the computer "ecm" check the fuses and the wire connected to the cable, if not its the computer, that how i solved my issue, do a diognostic,
How do u know it work if ever computer has it own codes so how are you going to install a used one or new on eBay if it has to be from the dealership but help me I'm having the Same problem
i did not went to the the dealer, the dealer will rip you off with thousand of dollar. I paid a guy to check the problem, he told me is the pcm/ecm. in ebay, i gave them my VIN number to program it with the car and sent me a used computer, with lifetime warranty, also you have to return your computer to them. PCM cost me around 175 buck. I recommend you to check it first with a electrical guy. before making any move.
Alexandra Gamez theres alot of to check, check if there any corrion on the metals, check the fuses, check thr computer cables( the computer is under the radiator, i believe on the driver side) if no solution, check ur computer for failure.
@@sincerelyenyel Thanks a lot Enyel , appears that you are the internet Guru in Red Light Dodge Neon jejeje. Only one question more, did you have to reconfigure something? or only change computer and that's it... put out old computer and put in "new" computer and ready?

Yea, mine started once with that problem then it shut off and after that never again it wanted to turn on.
What was the problem I’m having the same problem with my 05 GMC Sierra
I have that problem with my neon besides that now its blinking and just doesnt want to do anything
Also check the ignition key wire, and see if is broken or not properly connected
Check the starter connection and control board ground that was my issue
Did you try anothet key? Smart chip.may be fubar
that is the anti theft light.
do u know how to take it off
@@hectordelgado2708do u?
Check the number 10 fuse in the driver's side fuse box, mine was blown out.
My issue was my ground connection from the battery to the body was bad. Just had to sand down the connection and it worked.
U got lucky it was a bad ground, i had a bad pcm/ecm
I have a neon 05/06…doing exactly the same thing…mine was a blown fuse #21 under the hood
Lucky you lol, i needed to replace the ecm/pcm
That the theft light

Car ECU, ECM, PCM. Its all together, its the car computer
Where are they lokated
What's the chance of it being a bad key or antenna, immobilizer module? Slim to none?
Only one computer, its in the engine department, front bottom left. Its easy to remove and install. And cheap to buy on ebay.
Did you have to reprogram to your key
