changing battery factory alarm went off now wont start

working on a 2001 caravan. been sitting for about 6 months with no battery installed. decided to work on it. got a new battery, and when i connected it the alarm went off. i dont have panic button for it so i unhooked the bat. not sure what i did next but i think i hooked the bat back up with the thicker gray key in the ignition. i think that is the key with the chip. anyway the alarm did not sound but the engine will not crank.seems like it it in some security mode blocking start up. i triedcycling the key in the driver door but that did not work. anyone with ideas, need help please.

Re: changing battery factory alarm went off now wont start

Got a solid red light on the right side of the instrument cluster? That solid red light means the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has detected a fault, just as you're thinking. Might try disconnecting the negative battery cable again for 15 minutes. Might reset it. Make sure the battery is fully charged (minimum 12.4 volts at battery) and connections are clean and tight. Other than that a dealership will have to connect a DRBIII scanner and check for codes. Or maybe another member has a better idea.
