Keyless entry receiver location/questions

[jateed]

Hi everyone,

 

I posted here a while back regarding electrical issues I had, and while I got most of them resolved, keyless entry and the auto headlights are still problematic.

 

For keyless, I tested and found out my fob wasn't transmitting, so I got a replacement and programmed it via the lock/unlock method (got the locks to cycle after the second entry). I also confirmed that the new fob is sending signals, but the car won't respond after programing.

 

Since the car took the programming as expected, I don't think it's the biu, but maybe the receiver instead. I have read that it's by the steering column, but anyone know where? Also, would I need to do any specific programming for that as well, or does the receiver just relay the message to the biu to handle?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Regarding the auto headlights. Depending on your symptoms, there was a TSB to modify the wiring to the sensor on the dash. Copy of the TSB is in this thread:

Thank you for that. I saw that elsewhere, but couldn't find that kit for sale. I also want to pull up that part of the dash and see if they added the module already (got the car used).

 

Thanks again and if you have any info on the keyless entry, it'd be appreciated.

I actually may have the kit available for sale. Started installing it and mid install I found out my headlights were shorting out due to the wires on the headlight harness exposed and touching the frame, so I took the kit out. I no longer have the car but the kit should be with my other stuff someplace.

I appreciate thst, but I actually did find it for sale, and after confirming I didn't have the green/white in pin 3, I ordered the sensor and the kit. If it's a common enough issue, I'm hoping the sensor is the culprit.

 

I also read somewhere that they have the keyless receiver above the glove box. I need to pull the box and confirm, but hopefully that's where it's at.

 

Thanks all the same, and I'll update the thread with results in case it helps someone else.
