Remote Keyless Entry System

When trouble shooting problems with the Remote Keyless Entry System, always verify that the power door lock/unlock switches are functional. If the doors do not lock/unlock.

If the following items do not work:
- Remote keyless entry system
- Radio/clock
- Door lock switches

A blown fuse is the probable cause. Check fuses 2, 3 and 11 in the fuse block. To check for a blown fuse pull the fuse out slightly, but maintain contact between the fuse terminals and the terminals in fuse block. Using the voltmeter probe, check both terminals for 12 volts. If only one terminal measures battery voltage, the circuit breaker is defective and must be replaced. If neither terminal measures battery voltage, check the high current fuses 3 and 11 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The PDC is located in the engine compartment. If fuse(s) are NOT OK, replace fuse(s) or repair as necessary. If fuses are OK, check for an open or shorted circuit to the Power Distribution Center, repair as needed.
