2004 T&C keyless entry stops working
 

I have a 2004 T&C and sometimes the keyless entry will work and sometimes it will not. Sometimes it works from far away and sometimes it will not work right next to the door. Any idea on how to fix this problem? Thanks

Read and try [red print in #23] this

I clicked on the link but it didnt take me anywhere.

Oooooooooooops your correct. This is the whole thread its #23 I was referring to.

Essentially there are two ways :

Introduce the fob to the car again, get them antiquated, try a reconciliation!

- turn the key to the start POS but do not START the engine

- when the checks stop lock and unlock the doors FROM the FOB several times
- - - this will re-marry the KEYFOB and the PUTER

- lock in the usual way with the KEYFOB, does the alarm function normally ? - if not do the following :



- disconnect the batter for 5 minutes, your FOB and car are now divorced .. .. then reconnect the battery
- your battery and FOB are now acrimoniously divorced and won't speak to each other

- turn the key to the start POS but do not START the engine
- - - the PUTER will read all BUS's and door locks, do all checks, you will hear lots of clicks

- when the checks stop lock and unlock the doors FROM the FOB several times
- - - this will re-marry the KEYFOB and the PUTER

- start the car, while it warms up re-set the missing settings from the radio and the roof display
- stop the engine and lock in the usual way with the KEYFOB - does it work now ?

NOTE01 : an afterthought - when you think you have locked and alarmed etc the vehicle you / it hasn't finished. The vehicle polls the computer BUS for 15 minutes checking windows / doors / radio and lights left on etc. Only then is the alarm function fully functioning.

I dont think mine has an alarm. I have only owned it for a few months I am not sure. I need to check and see. Either way the above method should work with or without correct? Thanks for your help.

In that case I've no idea my friend, I've never known one without an alarm, certainly not after Y2K. It sounds to me like you don't have a proper Chrysler key fob. Maybe they are that way in other countries, and you don't say where you are, others may know better and come along to help.

Best of luck.
