Engine stall with red dot light on Professional Thread Starter Join Date: Feb 2010 Location: Canada Posts: 218 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Hey all, Since I've owned this truck I've had the little red dot light come on maybe three times. It didn't do anything I just noticed that it was on. i turned the truck off and restarted and the light went off and stayed off. Today I got in, fired it up, and in the time it took for me to reach for the seatbealt and buckle it, the engine shut down. I noticed the red dot light was on. Not sure if they are related yet. If I remember right, this red dot light has something to do with security? I don't know that this truck has any particular security options. I have the option list somewhere and will check but I don't remember any particular mention of any security options installed when I got it printed. What triggers this red dot light? I should also mention, I tried to restart imediately without turning the key to the off position. The engine just cranked and wouldn't fire. The red dot light stayed on. I then turned the key to the off position and tried restarting again. The truck fired up no problem and has been fine since. Any thoughts? Thanks!

It's not supposed to be lit when the engine is running.

That red light is indicating that the truck was started with a key without the proper/no transponder, and thats why it is killing the engine. Its a security feature to prevent someone from picking the cylinder or hot wiring to turn over the engine.

I know this is not related, but you never know.

I thought that was some sort of option. Strange that I've had the red dot on before but it didn't affect the engine operation.

Wouldn't I have some little remote key chain thing to arm and disarm? I did buy this thing used after all....Hmmm. I really have to find where i put that option list.

I really have to find where i put that option list. first, go here and get your trucks build sheet: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...ild-sheet.html Second, do you have a key fob? I.e., a key with a remote on the end that you can lock, unlock the doors with, or start the panic alarm??

Professional Thread Starter Join Date: Feb 2010 Location: Canada Posts: 218 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Well, got another option list printed and the only related item is the Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System which I assume is the typical grey key. I think something is getting ready to take a s**t on this truck because when I was backing into a parking spot getting to work today the RPM's started hunting for idle and felt like the engine was going to die. I hate issues like this because you lose trust in your vehicle wondering when it's going to let you down. I'll see how it goes I guess. Thanks for all the replies. What does the red dot on my car dashboard mean?A red warning light generally indicates a serious issue with your car. You should act quickly if your dashboard warning light is red – it could be an overheating engine, low engine oil pressure or a braking system problem.
