DodgeJGirl Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 So, I have read both answers in many places. But I guess the battery is dead in my key fob. Will the alarm sound if the metal key is used to open the door? I am afraid to get into/open the car to go get a new battery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I believe it will recognize the metal key. If you have the push button start, dont know if you will be able to start it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeJGirl Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 It is the basic journey key. Sorry if I sound lame, but I don't push a button to start. I just put the fob in and turn. And it starts. Last night I locked it and now today...nothing. Cant lock or unlock it with fob. I want to drive to go get a battery. But I don't want the alarm to sound when I used the metal key and...with the fob not working..not be able to turn the alarm off. I hope that makes sense.

Isaiah6113 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Don't know about the alarm, but if you open with the key you can still start the vehicle, you use the heel of the fob to press the tip start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeJGirl Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Thanks you guys. I was too scared to try it. Didn't want the alarm sounding and there be nothing I could do about it. So, in a move that is COMPLETELY unlock me...I actually walked to the store for a battery! It works. I am happy. And I have earned a treat! redtomatoman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
