Posted April 18, 201510 yr I have a 2001 dodge ram, how do I know if it's capable of having a keyless entry?
April 18, 201510 yr Staff If the window is down then it's a keyless entry. Replace the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter batteries. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES). Test each of the RKE transmitter functions. If OK, discard the faulty batteries. If not OK, go to Step 2. (2) Program the suspect RKE transmitter and another known good transmitter into the RKE receiver. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING). (3) Test the RKE system operation with both transmitters. If both transmitters fail to operate the power lock system, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required for further diagnosis of the RKE system. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. If the known good RKE transmitter operates the power locks and the suspect transmitter does not, replace the faulty RKE transmitter. NOTE: Be certain to perform the RKE Transmitter Programming procedure again following this test. This procedure will erase the access code of the test transmitter from the RKE receiver.
April 18, 201510 yr Author I've never had a transmitter, I was just curious. Now, I do have another issue with my windows not going down in auxiliary. Have any ideas on that?
April 18, 201510 yr Staff If auxiliary you mean key position #1 then no they will not work. The window motors are only powered up in key position #2, the run position. You can buy a new transmitter for the locks and code it to the truck. . (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING).
April 18, 201510 yr Author I have a new transmitter, just not sure how to program. As for auxiliary, I mean when you turn the key back, as to just turn on the radio.
April 18, 201510 yr Staff Windows, up-down, key position #2 only. STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING To program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter access codes into the RKE receiver in the high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM) requires the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. Some up scale key and lock shops might be able to do it. Fill out your signature line so we know the year of and equipment the truck has.
