: What am I doing Wrong with the Keyless Entry????

After reading all the forums about Keyless Entry, I thought I would give it a try. (Yes the install was very simple) Unfortunately I had trouble programming the remotes, so I decided to quit, take the remote module out from underneath the dash and try another day.

Well this morning, when my Girlfriends started the car for work, it didn't start. Does this have anything to do with the Keyless Entry? Did I do something wrong? Or is this perhaps a dead battery?

checking that you reconnected the battery? also you might look that you didnt blow a fuse or fusable link. (one of the reasons you might wish to disconnect the battery while doing electrical work)

you should not have had to reprogram the keyless entry, mine worked great out of the box. .

depending on your mechanical expertise, you might consider taking her to the dealer.

best of luck

Thanks for the response. You're right, I didn't disconnect the battery. Just following some instructions on "Element J's" site. Turns out the Battery was dead, and so a Jump cured the issue. BUT still curious on how the Battery died????
