So that is what that stupid blue led is for???? I put a piece of black foam in the opening cause that light is annoying as all heck.

I don't know about that keyless fix but for my fob my battery contact ring had come up out of the circuit board. I resoldered it to the board and all has been well since.

NO, the RCDLR (Remote Control Door Lock Receiver) just lives under the same bump. The annoying LED is to illuminate the window control buttons, and alert the driver that the dash lights are on (vs. the DRL's).

I havent received my keylessfix in the mail yet. When I checked my fob at Advance Auto the unlock button would make the light flash on the tester but the lock button did nothing to the tester. I tried both remotes and one of them is unused been hanging in the cabinet since I bought the car. Any ideas?

Are you saying that BOTH fobs have only the unlock button working? If that is the case then it sounds more like either a you need a relearn/reprogram of the fobs or the RCDLR is faulty.

I think all you need to do is the security reset. I don't think that the keyless entry will work if the security system has been triggered or disabled. I don't remember how, but it's real simple. Just my guess.

Can you offer anymore help? According to the readout the dash everything is on. I noticed on one topic someone said to leave the car battery unhook for 30min to allow system reset. Do you think that will help? When we unhooked the battery we only left it undone for a few minutes

The security system is what I was talking about there. I think it's as simple as putting the key in the ignition and locking the doors, it's in the manual.

if you have tried the new keypad fix, and it didn't work, I guess you gotta let the dealer take your money. That's about the end of DIY territory.
