I believe the Intrepid ES uses a sentry-key system, meaning there is an RF chip in the key. If not, and you have keyless entry, you will have a lock button which, when pressed twice, locks and arms the system. There isn't a button to "turn it off" as far as overall function, but you can choose not to arm it by only pressing the lock button one time on your keyless remote. If it has the Sentry Key system, you cannot turn it off at all.

ive got a 2002 3.5 v6 es dodge intrepid and this morning when i went to start it it cranked over breifly but as soon as i give it a little gas the thing shut's off. the oil light has been coming on lately when i put the ignition in standby mode right b4 i start it and it ding's. i have replaced the battery, the coolant reservoir, and the thermostat all in the last 6 mo.'s and i have read somewhere that there could be air in the coolant system and to bleed that out and refill with fresh coolant. also maybe an oil change? could this be a pump issue, or maybe a head? the manual says do an oil change every 3000 mi.'s so that is due. it has recently began to turn cold outside and im thinking that that is what has brought on this problem. also, i noticed that the coolant reservoir was practically empty and that is why i thought maybe air had gotten in the pipes and jimmy'd something on the block resulting in a non-start due to the cold weather. any suggestion's? 3 Answers

the car is in great running condition but may need minor maintenance repair
