I just unplugged mine and then plugged it back in. Then it worked. I think its a loose connection. I just wrapped the plug in electrical tape to keep it tight. We will see how long it lasts.
Hey I’m Wondering how is the car working? Is it still going without having it Unplugged?
Is the RKE the module under the dash cover or by the key lock? I would think by the key lock it's the transponder reader and the unit above the stereo is the RKE since it's clicking with the FOB? Trying to get my 2001 working FOBs, never had then when I got it used. A local Chrysler dealer said they could not program my aftermarket keys or FOBs so I got off ebay new Chrysler chip keys and used OEM Chrysler FOBs and dealer said their system could not communicate with the FOBs though the keys got programmed. Odd. Frustrating.
DAMN IT! There goes my Brain again.
Yes you are correct, the RKE is the Black Box that is under the dash in the middle where the Window Vent is.
where the VSS (The items that does the RFID ) is by the Key lock / TUmbler under the Multifunction Switch Assembly. (And yes it does have relays that click and is normal operation)
Now for the Key Fobs themselves?
Hardware wise, they are Perfectly Capable.
(Assuming here)
But the programing of them is the tinkle by the techs as the method to do so is only written for the OEM Fobs.
So..
Your options are:
1. Go to a car stereo place, and see if they can program aftermarket fobs in.
2. Locksmith.
3.. Just get the OEM.
There is no cheap option for this.
Being that are car's are 25 years old, it might be a good idea to get the OEM simply for the sake of having an OEM part as they are only going to get harder to come by in the future.
Getting my spare keys made cost me about $400 bucks from a locksmith. And that's with Insurance.
So I made sure to never lose my keys again.
Let me see what I can come up with on getting an aftermarket Fob to work.
Sadly, the best source of this just went down last year, (PT Cruiser links Forums)
The Mopar site is pretty knowledgeable about these, but as you know, many of us are going the way of the Dodo bird, any many of us have let go of our cars as they are 24 years old at this point.
Allpar may have some Info on this as well.
The only cheap option I can think of is to get pre Programed Fobs based on your VIN.
I have tried swapping the RKE, but if you do that, you will run into some issues I heard. So don't do that with a Junkyard car with fobs, but I have not had any luck getting my Fob to work anymore.
And have had issues with it for a while now.
Probably some other kind of issue down the line like the lock sensors etc..
You can go Aftermarket, and tap into the Lock and unlock of the RKE, and that stuff is on any 12Volt Car audio and Alarm site.
That would be the CHEAPEST way to get there to get the functionality you desire.
Some Alarm systems are able to talk on the CAN Bus (SAE Data bus for us I think) and just work that way so its plug and play.
But that's all I know.
If you plan to keep the PT as its actually a really cool car now compared to what's out there?
(And the Car Won't Track you or ask you for a Data Plan or GPS plan etc) then I would look into getting a factory scan tool that allows you to deep dive in all this stuff and program and do as you please, just like the Chrysler tech Boys do at the shop.
That way, you know you can keep the old gal going for YEARS to come.
These systems may be old, but they seem to be built to last, so having a way to work on them is going to important in the future.
There are a LOT of other systems that will give you headache that you really can't easily duplicate with an Aftermarket ECU / BCM. (Seat belt / Airbag / etc)
If you have a stick shift? This make that process easier, but still not perfect.
If I hear anything, I will comeback and post it here or make forum post on any of the Forum sites.
Hope that helps in somewhay.
@@MickeyMishra I did get OEM keys and fobs but my one local dealer said they couldn't communicate to program the fobs. I don't think they tried very hard.
Great camera work 😖😂
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy TOO MUCH RAMBLING !!! VIDEOS LIKE THIS ARE WHY I GET UPSET WITH YOU TUBE VIDEOS
I get upset at the fact I got a Brain Injury in the Military. My bad dude. If only I did not save those other 2 dudes, maybe I could make better videos for you.
Maybe if your able? You can make one of your own? 😉 You have my full permission to use this video or edit it in anyway you see fit.
Take care and Merry Christmas!
Or happy Diwali.
I LOVED the rambling! He actually made what should have been a super boring video worth watching!
Stara się pomóc. Jeśli pomoże choćby jednej osobie, jest dobre to co robi. Lepiej milczeć.
Maybe bad auto shutdown relay, or bad auto shutdown relay fuse
What year is this car. .I'm having issues with my 06
2001 Officially. However, its REAL Build date was 2000 as it was one of the FIRST series of cars. In fact? I imported mine from Canada to be the FIRST to Purchase it in Washington.
Mine is a Oddball.
So you're saying just unplug and replug with key out, then start?
Yup! That's all I had to do. The Bigger Problem is down the line in your wiring like a broken connector under the hood or ECU issue. But this solves the issue to get you home or out of the parking lot.
@@MickeyMishra too bad it wouldn't work on my 06 ram 2500. Skim somehow got corrupted.
Will that be the fix for my grand caravan
What Year?
Just disconnect it and youre good...dont follow any of this
How did that work for you?
Just nonsense
Explain. I have an FSM here that outlines this very procedure.
