RE: wont start please help - 2/21/2008 11:21:03 AM    Kensai Posts: 1652 Joined: 12/30/2003 From: United States Status: offline just remove all power from your aftermarket system to eliminate it as the problem with your D not starting.  I would disconnect the power from the power source side to be 100% sure your aftermarket stereo system has no juice going to it.  If durango starts up, then you know where the problem lies, if it does not start, it is not your stereo system. As far as the alarm system goes, I do not know if the OEM factory stereo would cause it problems if it were replaced with an aftermarket.  I would say no as users in this community would have spoke out about it. < Message edited by Kensai -- 2/21/2008 11:31:14 AM > _____________________________ Black 2000 Durango 5.9 R/T Fastman 52mm ThrottleBody Fastman custom built Tranny Castrol Full Syntec OEM K&N Air filter Monroe Reflexes BFG Comp T/A''s Champion IR Truck Plugs 180 Stat Hypertech III (87 oct) Custom Made Ram Air Intake (in reply to rebelboy) Post #: 11

I would wait until you get it back before speculating on what could be wrong.  adding a stereo wont kill a truck unless you have a dead short, then you'll have lots of smoke. _____________________________ http://www.dodgeforum.com/m_1037052/tm.htm http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/sdoherma/ (in reply to Kensai) Post #: 12
