program keyless remote

Hello,

I just got a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager that was missing the keyless remotes. I got a new OEM one today off of the internet and I need instructions on how to program it. The owners manual says I need a working one to program the new one. Thats a problem.

Thanks

I see this question asked a lot, but nobody ever replys with an answer. Is this question taboo?

To tell you the truth, I don't even know if this van has keyless entry, but I am assuming it does since most all vehicles since the mid 90's have come with it as a standard option. How can you check to see if it does have it?

Someone please tell me if I can program the keyless fob or do I need to take it to a dealer.

thanks,

hellooooooooo, is anyone out thereeeeeeeeeeeee?????? :banghead:

hellooooooooo, is anyone out thereeeeeeeeeeeee?????? :banghead:



i have a 97 voyager and bought two more remotes for it took it to the dealer and they programed all 4 remotes for no money. take it to a local dealer and ask best thing to do i say. however you said if you had one working remote you could program it .... ive been searching for at least 2 hours today and havent found anything on programming ifyou already have remotes. do you know where a person could find this info??? thanks

The info about programing your own remotes if you have a working remote is on page 16 of my 1999 voyager manual. I went to my local dodge dealer in wilmington, NC a few weeks ago and they programmed the remote. They didn't do it for free though, they charged me 55.00. :mad:

i did not get a manual with my van i will look for one though thanks. on ebay there is a guy who sells remotes for starting at 8 dollars. i bought a pair from him and they worked great.

To program Transmitters:

1. Turn ignition switch to the ON position and leave vehicle in park.
2. Using a previously programmed transmitter, press the UNLOCK button for 5 to 10 seconds. While the UNLOCK button is being pressed, press the PANIC button and release both buttons simultaneously. You will hear a chime sound to signal you that programming on the new transmitter(s) may occur.
3. You may program up to 4 transmitters for your vehicle within a 30 second timed window. Press and release both lock and unlock buttons of a transmitter at the same time;then press any of the buttons once, you will hear a beep when the transmitter has been successfully programmed. A chime will sound when the 30 seconds is over, or if you turn the ignition switch off.

If you do not have a programmed transmitter, contact your dealer for details.

I had to contact the dealer and pay them. If you have a working programmed transmitter you should be OK.

thanks for the info i really appriciated it...

Has this procedure worked for anyone? I have a 94 Caravan and it doesn't have the panic button mentioned in the instructions. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

The info I posted is a copy out of a 1999 plymouth voyager owners manual. I don't know if it is the same for a 94. do a google or buy a manual off of ebay. i bought my 99 manual off of ebay for just a few bucks. the procedure listed only works if you already have a working remote and you are just adding another one. since I didn't have a working one, I had to get the dealer to program it.

My '94 Caravan still had the book when I got it. No mention in the owners manual how to program the remotes. Other than telling you how to use them, the only related detail in the book is that the horn chirp can be turned off by dealer programming. So, probably need to go to the dealer unless someone else has access to the Mopar service books.

I've been in the same boat befor with a '94 and a '96 Caravan. Hopefully this information will help you. You can disregard the detailed descriptions of the remote transmitters that this bulletin refers to and skip down to the actual instructions at the bottom. The procedure involving grounding the green wire worked well in my '96

Has this procedure worked for anyone? I have a 94 Caravan and it doesn't have the panic button mentioned in the instructions. Any thoughts?

Thanks!


Your '94 remote has a dedicated "rear door unlock" button. The rear door open button (black) on your '94 remote became the "red" panic button on '95 and later cars. The 'unlock" button now opens all doors including the rear door. The transmitter is the same, other than the red button. You can use an earlier "black" transmiter on newer cars. By simply programming them to the car. The only problem is that anytime you try to "open" the rear door, the alarm goes on.

Regards

I don't even know why they have the site, nobody seems to ever write back, maybe because they'll all stupid and don't know anything.

I have a 1996 Caravan and had to get the first one done at the dealer, at no charge, lucky. They have to hook up the hand held computer to set the remote. After you have the first one, you can do the rest on your own. Good luck.

Is there any way possible to program this remote without a trip to the dealer. ( 96 T&C)
I have two remotes and neither are original, they both have been purchased used.

Thanks.

Refer to my previous post method "D". You have to ground the specified green wire to force the BCM into program mode. It worked for my 96 GC when programing was lost and none of the remotes worked.

To program Transmitters:

1. Turn ignition switch to the ON position and leave vehicle in park.
2. Using a previously programmed transmitter, press the UNLOCK button for 5 to 10 seconds. While the UNLOCK button is being pressed, press the PANIC button and release both buttons simultaneously. You will hear a chime sound to signal you that programming on the new transmitter(s) may occur.
3. You may program up to 4 transmitters for your vehicle within a 30 second timed window. Press and release both lock and unlock buttons of a transmitter at the same time;then press any of the buttons once, you will hear a beep when the transmitter has been successfully programmed. A chime will sound when the 30 seconds is over, or if you turn the ignition switch off.

If you do not have a programmed transmitter, contact your dealer for details.

This procedure is for newer vans, I have a 94 Caravan with no "Panic" button, does anyone have the procedure for this model? Many Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I do have one working remote and want to add another one I picked up at a salvage yard.

I'll try it. I don't have the factory alarm so it should not be a problem.
I have one programmed but want to add a second one.

Many Thanks!

Hi:

My is 2001 Voyager LX, I got one remote with the car and get a new one from the dealer. They tried to reprogram the new one with DRBIII but can program only one REMOTE.
I tried with the method in the service manual, but still only one work.
The service manual did not say you need to program all you REMOTE before turn OFF. (The working one would be erased to BLANK)
Program ALL you REMOTE one by one before turn OFF. I just programed two REMOTE.

Has this procedure worked for anyone? I have a 94 Caravan and it doesn't have the panic button mentioned in the instructions. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Hi - Have you gotten the programming for the 94. If not it is different then the 99. There is a bullet connector behind the glove compartment. (you have to remove the screws and take the glove box out) You take a wire and stick it in the bullet connector and then to ground. That takes you too the programming. I have done it to my old van a number of times.

Sorry for the delay. This is on my agenda for this weekend, (4-30) since the other method didn't work. When I bought the van in 95 as a demo, I remember the dealer was in and around the passenger side of the van when I had him program the one and only remote I got with it, indicating that the connector is indeed dehind the glove box. I'll let you know! Thanks!

I have a 1999 and I have no working fobs. The program method D does not work because I have no dark green wire and there is no wire in #1 of the data connector. :(

Hello,

I'm new here and I have a question, I hope that someone can help me!!
I had to replace my battery in my keyless entry, I tried to hold the buttons for the 7 seconds and nothing is happening!! :( I just bought a new stereo for my car and everywhere I have looked on line is telling me that I need the stock stereo!! I'm wondering if there is another way to make it work without having to put my old stereo back in my car and then putting the new in again? :banghead:
I'm going crazy here!! Please help!! :)

I had a 97 Grand caravan and still have 2 working remotes. These are rectangular remotes. I just got a 2000 Grand caravan that has 1 peanut shaped remote. I tried programing the '97 remotes via the 2000 owners manual instructions without luck. Can the '97 remotes work with the 2000 Grand Caravan? I hope I don't have to buy different remotes for the 2000.

Thank you,

How to Program 1996 Chrysler Town & Country LXI Remote (taken from owner's Manual p.18) This feature allows you to program transmitters in case one is lost or an extra transmitter(s) is desired. Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed to your vehicle. To program another transmitter, follow these steps: 1.) Turn ignition switch to the ON position and leave vehicle in park. 2.) Using a previously programmed transmitter, press the UNLOCK button for 5 to 10 seconds. While the UNLOCK button is being pressed, press the PANIC button and release both buttons simultaneously. You will hear a chime sound to signal you that programming on the new transmitter(s) will occur. 3.) Press and release any button on each transmitter, including the previously programmed transmitter, you wish to program (up to 4). You will hear a beep when a transmitter has been successfully programmed in. You will have 30 seconds to complete the programming of all desired transmitters. A chime will sound when the 30 seconds is over, or if you turn the ignition switch off. ~~I hope this helps anyone out there.

I know how to program the remotes that DO NOT HAVE THE PANIC BUTTON... they are the black square ones with just lock and unlock. What I did was turned the ignition to on without starting the motor, keep the driver door open, then with the original working remote i pressed lock for like 10 seconds.. The locks go up and down many times. I then took the new remote and pressed lock for a few seconds and it now works fine.

I see this question asked a lot, but nobody ever replys with an answer. Is this question taboo?

To tell you the truth, I don't even know if this van has keyless entry, but I am assuming it does since most all vehicles since the mid 90's have come with it as a standard option. How can you check to see if it does have it?

Someone please tell me if I can program the keyless fob or do I need to take it to a dealer.

thanks,

You need to remove the top dash pad and see if there is a receiver mounted there. If not you don't have keyless entry.
