Trouble Shooting

NOTE: If vehicle is left for 24 or more days without ignition switch being placed in RUN position, keyless entry will be disabled to decrease battery drain. Placing ignition switch in RUN position will restore system.
  1. Ensure all grounds and terminal contacts are clean and tight. Check RADIO fuse by observing operation of radio. Check PWR ACC fuse by operating power door locks. Check battery transmitter terminals.
  2. Try a known-good second transmitter. If second transmitter works, change batteries in first transmitter. Ensure battery terminals are clean and make good contact. Synchronize transmitters. If first transmitter still does not work, replace transmitter.
