cant get a remote to work

Is the battery in the remote and is it in good condition?

hi, the remote is brand new and so is the battery

Ok. Sometimes you have to program the remote to work with the controller. Check through the instructions to see if this is the case. There should also be a troubleshooting section at the back of the manual.

Make sure all electrical connections between the control unit and the vehicle's lock system were done correctly. Make sure you connected those wires to the proper relays and to the proper position on those relays.

hi, i actually didnt install the central locking, it came with the car, it just didnt come with a remote, so i ordered a remote and i cant get it to work, i am turning the ignition from off to on 8 times and then pushing the remote button but nothing is happening.

ok, ive checked all fuses, tried all the steps to get it to work. i have tried the off to run 8 times leaving it in on position and the locks dont lock then unlock (cycle)

Return the fob and request a new one. It sounds like the one you have may be defective. It sounds like you have followed the directions. Make sure to recheck wiring if you haven't already.

whats FOB?? i dont know what wiring to check as i didnt put it in its the factory locks etc on it

FOB is key fob. The remote. As my colleague states, it sounds like either the remote or the receiver is defective.

where would the reciever be? Thanks for all this help guys i just bought the car and was told it had central locking but i didnt realise it didnt have a remote :-(

Is it a factory alarm?

yep

The passive anti-theft system module is located behind the top right side of the dash.

Your vehicle may be equipped with electric door locks, but not necessarily remote door locks. That may also be why the remote isn't working. There's nothing to receive the signals from the remote.

oh ok.. how can i tell if it does have remote door locks? what does the anti theft module look like

It's a box with wires going to it. Some are black, some silver, others may be white. There may be a label on the bottom of it identifying its purpose.

The easiest way is to have a Ford dealer look up the installed factory options for the VIN.

Just because there are buttons to lock and unlock the doors inside the vehicle doesn't mean that a remote entry system is installed.

ok thanks is the box inside or outside the car

Inside. Behind the glove box/passenger airbag module.

ok i went to my Ford Dealer and they said they couldnt use my Vin and look up the fastory settings. so they werent helpful at all.. i took a picture of what is under my glove box can i upload it and you can tell me if its what im looking for?

Yes. There is the option to attach an image. It should be just below the reply box. I can't guarantee whether we'll be able to tell anything from the picture, though.

hi this is under my glove box

Neither of those items looks like a remote locking receiver.

A LOT OF INFO IN MITCHELL I....TESTS AND PROGRAMMING, ETC

IF I COULD SNAP-SHOT IT ALL, I WOULD---I'M TOO SLOW TO COPY ALL OF THAT DOWN, AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS RELEVANT OR NOT.

SORTA NOT WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF (YET) NOR DO I UNDERSTAND IT MYSELF--MUCH LESS GIVE AWAY A BUNCH OF MIS-INFORMATION TO ANOTHER



I DID SEE THAT THE "RAP MODULE" (REMOTE ANTI-THEFT/ PERSONALITY MODULE) IS LOCATED AT THE ----LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL!!!......DID NOT SAY WHETHER IT WAS ACCESSIBLE FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE

THERE WAS NOT A DIAGRAM

MAYBE IT JUST CAME LOOSE OR SOMETHING

SORRY I AM USELESS NOW.....GET A JEEP CJ, I WILL HELP YOU FOREVER!
