Hi there, I purchased a keyless entry remote for my girlfriends 1998 Ford Escort and it's not working.
I think the receiver chip is somehow broken and not picking up the signal, if so where would that even be located to look? and is it possible to replace?
The car does have keyless entry, she used to have a remote and said it stopped working and then she lost it. I called Ford and got them to decode my vin just to double check the part number was right on the remote, and it is. It was, and so now I'm here with a remote that isn't working.
When the keys are in the ignition the car goes bing bing bing, but if I press down the little rubber thing on the side of the door that stops. So I'm going to assume that means the door is shut and everything. I tried it while holding that down, but it still didn't work. Is it possible that the receiver chip is bad or broken? Does anyone know where it is located?
The car does successfully go into programming mode, with the doors unlocking and re locking after turning the ignition off and on 8 times and ending in run. I have tried ending in Off as well, to no avail.
