I found a very useful post for programming remote keyless entry fobs without the use of an already-programmed fob. The process involves gaining access to the RKE module in your vehicle and connecting one of the pins to the ground voltage in order to place the module in program mode.

I recently purchased a 2001 Sebring LX (2.7 L). I purchased a remote entry fob from eBay for the vehicle and am in the process of setting it up. It seems to be straight forward, so I am attempting this myself before paying for the Chrysler dealership to do it.

Link to the instructions:

The issue in this approach is gaining access to the RKE module. I have found two useful diagrams for this process (attached) from the same forum.

This information is certainly very useful, but I am not entirely sure of the step-by-step process of unclipping the dash panel, etc. in order to get to the RKE module. Please let me know if you have any tips. That would be much appreciated.

b4 u go and pass on info such as this I would ask some one like myself b4 u do this. The process u have posed is for older LHS cars from say 94 to 98 all other RPE modules are either built into another module or software in a module so what U posed is not valid

Your 01 is a separate module on the back of the junction block and no wires come from it its a direct fit to the bcm and junction block .

 

Thank you for the correction...much appreciated. I wasn't aware there was anyone to check with. Please move/delete the post as you see fit; I don't want to mislead anyone as it's already difficult to find this type of relevant information.

Regarding the 2001 Sebring model, though, is there a way that I can access the appropriate circuitry to place the system into program mode? I really enjoy doing things myself, given that someone can confirm it's possible to do.

for yours no dealer unless some after market place has come up with a scanner to program them.
