Key and key fob

[grayman]

Can I order spare key and remote from Dodge dealer? Any other place I could get one? Anyone know ballpark cost? Got GTS with only one set and figure I might as well order it now before I stupidly lose it somewhere.

Hi grayman,
I recently picked up the remote from my local Dodge dealer for approximately $55. I picked up the key on eBay for $20. (with the viper head logo, etc)
Hope this helps!,

do you have to take it to the dealer to have the key made or can you have this made anywhere?

I take it programming fob is basic...never mind - it's not so basic...

cut/paste

The second one that came with my 97 GTS did not work till I reprogramed it. Don't follow the instructions in the Shop Manual as it is wrong. Here is the right way.(credit goes to whom ever posted this in the first place):
1. Ensure the alarm system is not armed.

2. (1996 ~ 1998 GEN II) Ground pin C13 loose green wire taped to harness of EEM connector, which is under dash mounted on the left side of trans tunnel, directly above accelerator. Easy access if you remove knee bolster and rubber bungee cord that holds EEM to tunnel.
2A. (1999 ~ 2000) As #2, but instead of C13 you're grounding Terminal 1 of the DLC. (since I have a 1996 GTS, I have no clue what a DLC is)
2B. (ALL GEN I) Ground green "Program" Wire located next to SAM and RKE modules. Is a green wire with a bullet connector on end. Is located under driver's side instrument panel.
Hint, Make sure you're connecting to a solid body ground by testing it with an ohm meter.

3. Turn ignition to run position while green wire is still grounded!

4. EEM acknowledges entry into programming mode by flashing the dash LED. If it doesn't flash, you either:
- Have the wrong wire
- Aren't solidly grounded
- You came off ground after the ignition switch was placed in the run position. Start over.

5. (All GEN II) Press BOTH buttons on the transmitter simultaneously and continuously for 10 seconds. You will hear a triple horn chirp when FOB is accepted by the EEM.

5B. (All GEN I) Press and release the arm or disarm button on either FOB, then same for the next.
Hint: Make sure your transmitter is working, i.e fresh CR2032 battery $1.19 @ Zbattery.com and good clean battery contacts. Many times your problem is an electrically weak connection within the FOB itself.
6. You MUST program all FOBS during the same programming process. You can program up to 4 on a GEN II and I think only 2 on a GEN I.
That's it. Turn the ignition off and remove green wire from ground, then test the arm and disarm functions.



thanks

ok, i'm trying to reprogram my remote too, but i still do NOT understand how this works, what do you mean by "Ground pin C13 loose green wire taped to harness of EEM connector". first, is this green wire one of the EEM connector wires?? and do i just pull this green wire out from the connector plugs?? and what do i gotta do with this green wire?? thanks

"is this green wire one of the EEM connector wires?"

No, the green wire is a separate wire unattached to anything. It is terminated with a rubber shield. Push a test lead or piece of wire into the end of the green lead and touch the other end to ground. At least this is how it was on my 97 GTS.

 

[venomblue550]

is the green wire right next to the EEM connection plug?? by grounding the green wire, nothing gonna spark right?? or blow a fuse or short out something on the car right?? lol

Venom, it's a green wire with a black female connector, the female connector isn't plugged into anything. stick a wire into the black connector and ground the other end.
