I need to know the location of the keyless entry module (receiver) is on a 1998 chevy fullsize pickup. I would like to add one to my truck and need to know if the wiring is there. I have power everything so hopefully the capabilities are there. Will any module work (plug in) if I have the correct wires as long as I have the matching fob? I just need to get started in the right direction.

Figured out where its supposed to go. Went by a dealer and got a print out of the location. It goes somewhere behind the instrument cluster. I am going to see whats back there and reply again. They also gave me the part number of the receiver and matching transmitter, can post them if anyone needs them.

Ok, here is where I found the location. Its just above the gas pedel, there is a black bracket held in place by 2- 15mm bolts and 1- 7mm screw. I also found out that the wiring is already there because it replaces another module called the instrument panel dimmer module. The module it replaces is Part #15150325. The receiver part# is 16254970 and the matching transmiter is part# 16245102. I am still doing research, so if anybody has anything helpful, let me know. I would like to get the replacement part from salvage yard, so does anyone know if receiver from a blazer or anything else has the same part#?

I know this is several yrs later, but how did you handle the difference with the connectors? The dimmer module is only a 5 pin connector and the connector for the receiver is 20 pin.
We just got our 97 Silverado and low n behold no keyless entry, but have power windows/locks. Any help on the wiring would be appreciated.
