Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

And 5 more beers, you'll lose the car an report it stolen... Only to find you drunkenly drove over to the grocery store(across the street from the police station) and the po po put a boot on it.

Try this

30 Minute Relearn Procedure (Steps): This is for a "replacement" (new) key (no original available)
1) Insert a "Master" Passkey III (PK3) Key (the one with the black plastic cover as shown above).
2) Turn the Ignition to ON, but do NOT start the engine. You should see the "Security" message on the dash for about 10 minutes and then it will turn off.
3) Turn OFF the Ignition and wait 5 seconds.
4) Repeat the above steps (1-3) a total of 3 times, or a total of 30 minutes.
5) After the third time (including turning back to the OFF position), start the van. The van should now have "learned" the transponder information and will allow it to start and continue to run.
Important Notes:
- When the above procedure is used, all previously learned keys will be erased from system memory.
- Additional keys can be learned immediately after the relearn procedure. This is done by inserting the additional key and turning the ignition to the RUN position within 10 seconds of removing the previously learned key

From previous research 97-03 can be programmed easily by the owner, 04+ needs a Tech2 tool to program it.

My Fob works from about 100 feet away.

Awesome man, thank you, thank you! Headed to the garage now to try this and put a couple sheets o dynamat in the trunk

most of the time its pretty easy to re program a fob, the newer years GP's, well sorry guys lol directions should be in the owners manual, if you dont have one, they are on line for free.

weak fob could be a bad battery, or the buttons need to be cleaned.

i got my car with one key for the doors, and one for the ignition, thats it.

first thing i did was get another key, and a fob. i know me, id lock it in the car, or loose it sooner or later lol

ill give it a go, thanks for ur help bud

Is this only for the key itself or the fob?

Thats for the key.

There are instructions around for programming the fob on 97-03.
