hi i recently bought a used keyless remote entry from ebay but when i follow the instructions that came with it and try to syncronize it with my car it doesnt work what shuld i do
 


Negative.

Important note - you MUST program all of your keyless remotes when you do this - NOT JUST THE NEW ONE. You are in essence - changing the channel/remote address of the vehicle and remote, and your old remotes will not work.


1) Get in car and close all doors.
2) In the fuse panel - remove the "MALL PGM" fuse - do not lose this! :)
3) Insert key and turn ignition to ACC position - you should hear the interior chime once
4) Turn key to "off" and quickly back to ACC.
5) Open and close the driver's door. You should hear 1 chime - this will indicate that the system has entered diagnostic mode.
6) Press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter (key fob) - for approximately 15 seconds. You should hear a chime after 7 seconds, DO NOT RELEASE THE BUTTONS - continue to hold for a second chime.
7) Repeat step 6 for each transmitter. (maximum of 4 can be programmed for each vehicle)
8) If you're finished programming, turn ignition off.
9) Replace “MALL PGM” fuse.
10) Open Door(s).
11) Test transmitters.

I currently do not keyless entry. Would I be able to buy a key fob and program it or would my car not be set up for it? If my car is not set up for it what is a good kit? Sorrry for the thread jack.

If your car wasn't built with the 1SC option package - then you don't have RKE capability.

The only issue I've got is that my keyless range is crap! I've replaced the batteries in both Key fobs, but I receive the same result.

I guess before I try and attack the receiver, I could try to reprogram both fobs in hopes that it might refresh the computer? :th_shakinghead1:, Who knows?
 
Bah! The reprogramming of both the FOB's worked, but it didn't increase the range :(. I supposed I'll have to hunt for the elusive receiver box/antenna...

Anyone know of an easy way to access it? (or even where it is?)
