Diagnosis And Testing - Remote Keyless Entry

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When trouble shooting problems with the Remote Keyless Entry System, always verify that the power door lock/unlock switches are functional. If the doors do not lock/unlock with the power switches, the following components should be analyzed:

Door Lock Switches
Body Control Module
Lock and unlock relays
Door lock/unlock motors
Remote keyless entry system
Radio/clock

A blown fuse is the probable cause. The remote keyless entry fuse 13 is located in the Junction Block. If neither terminal measures battery voltage, check for an open or shorted circuit to the Junction Block, repair as needed. If battery voltage is still not available, check the high current fuse G in the Power Distribution Center, located in the engine compartment.

To diagnose the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System, use a DRB III(R) scan tool and refer to Power Door Lock System in BODY DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - SEBRING CONVERTIBLE, SEBRING SEDAN & STRATUS SEDAN article.
