Hi Rod ,
Unknown if ever had security/remote start system installed. It's a '93 and honestly looks like very little was ever done to it .
Yes, has illuminated entry . ( lift door handle lights come on , though not now with fuse removed ) . Key entry only.
Yes, fuse #8 is a 15 . Your list of should not work items is intresting . Tested all and found the instrument panel dimmer and liftgate ajar both still work . Others listed do not.
Hmm ?
Still think it may be an illuminated entry module issue ?
If so where is it and any recommendations on disconnecting ?
Thanks again for your wealth of information
Jenny
