Hi all.
A few days ago I was having a browse of road tests for cherokees and something caught my eye. according to the equipment list, my 95 cherokee should have a keyless entry, but I dont have a key fob for one. Unable to contact previous owner, so I popped down to my local friendly(ish) dealer who took my vin and offered to print out all the stuff fitted to my car at new. When the price for this turned out to be free I decided not to quibble and ended up with a 3 page print out with items such as :
CFMS Seat - Rear folding
to
YGGA 9 Additional gallons of Gas (Ive checked throuout the car and have been unable to locate this item)
But sure enough there it was:
GXMP Keyless entry remote.
the dealer said they could get one but it would be £80, and would need programming to the car. does anyone know where I might get one any cheaper. would a 'generic' one do, and also is programming something I could do myself. (on my wifes car, you have to reprogram when you replace batteries in the remote, but all you do is hold down the unlock button then turn the ignition on and wait untill the car locks then unlocks). If its a simple reprogram then I was thinking of trawling the dismantlers for one, but I have never seen one, so wouldnt recognise one. Perhaps some one could post a picture of one for me please?
Next item to set me thinking is
DHAS Torque Converter -lock up.
Is this some sort of automatic thing (no pun intended) at speed, or is it something I can select, or how do I check if its working?

BTW, the printout came up with this:
VIN: 1J4FJB8S1SL
1:built by chrysler corporation J:Jeep 4:Multipurpose passenger vehicle F:4001-5000# (1815-2267kg) GVWR & hyd. br.

It might enlighten you (it did me!)
