  the 10W/40 oil in the engine and this is what is causing the starting trouble. The battery is about 3 years old and is a heavy duty one. Do you think the car is just suffering from normal winter starting trouble or do you think it is to do with the oil.

• Chrysler Voyager (1997 - 2001) - 1999 2.0 Alarm problems 23 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  . But from what I can see there's is still a issue. If you use the remote to lock the doors, then unlock again the indicator signals flash inside the car but not the exterior lights, so this must mean the alarm is still on. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery does not help in reseting. Thanks
