Out of Storage Problem 99 Quad Cab

Hey Fred, have you changed/checked the key fob's battery lately? I get about 3 years out of my daily fob.

FMB (North Mexico)

Haven't done that ... have two though and one that I haven't used ... tried it and no luck with that one either.

Will try and get a fob battery.

I've had similar problems in other vehicles. No battery for a long period of time, and the computer's non-volitle ram's backup battery goes dead, and the memory is lost. (In my case that was the end of the ECM!)

But, as others mentioned, check the fob's battery first. That is likely the problem. And next time, don't disconnect the battery or pull fuses: put a trickle charger on it instead and it should be fine. That's what I do with my trucks and cars that sit over the winter.

In the OM there is a procedure to "initialize" the fob. you may have to re do it.

Hey Roy!

Is this the "Programming Addtional Transmitters" procedure in the OM that you are referring to?

Thanks

Tried the OM tip for initializing additonal fobs ... no luck.

Fred

Noticing a chime code now when I turn on the ignition getting 6 chimes a pause then 2 chimes ... anyone able to decipher this code?

TIA

You're going to have to take it to the dealer or someone with a DRB III to have it reprogrammed.

Thanks John.

Fred
