Ok, I have read a bunch of threads on this, but I havent found the information that I am looking for. Hopefully someone can help me before I go insane.

Ok, I have a 2000 Grand Caravan. The van has power door locks and it does have the feature that automatically locks the doors at a certain speed, but did not come standard with keyless entry. I have phsysically checked and found that it does not have the RKE module, but it does have the blue 6-pin connector for it (4 wires coming out of the connector).
Since I do have the connector, I went to the wrecker yard and found a RKE for the vehicle it has the number GQ43VT16R (same blue connector) and I have a remote with the number GQ43VT17T.
My problem is, I have plugged in the RKE module and I have tried to have it recognize my remote but I cant seem to get it to do anything. Is there some other piece to the puzzle that I need to get? I didnt notice that the vehicle I removed the RKE from had any additional wires. Is there another module I needed to grab? Has this been done before and if so, is there already a thread on this subject that I couldn't find?

Thanks.

 

You may need the dealer for this problem. In most case's the remotes need to be program with a DRB3.

 

I have a 2000 caravan with the factory remotes that were when we moved. I purchased two new remotes. How do I program them.

 

Where is the RKE module located?

 

Top of the dash just left of center. Have to pop up the top cover to see it.

 

Is there some way to test it? I cannot get my keyless entry to work.

 

Not much to it. 6 pin connector with 4 wires. Pin 3 is a pink wire, should have 12 volts all the time. Pin 4 is a black with light green tracer and is ground. Pin 5 is a dark blue wire and is the wire the BCM grounds to put the system into program mode. Now weather you can ground that wire yourself and get a fob to program, not sure, maybe 70 charger can try it. Pin 6 is a light green wire with a red tracer. It is the wire the BCM uses to talk to the RKE module. Pin 5 on the rke goes to pin 37 of the C1 connector of the BCM which is down by the drivers left foot. Pin 6 of the rke goes to pin 4 of the C1 BCM connector. Should have continuity in both of those wires. If all are good, probably bad RKE module.

 

Is the RKE module fed by a relay or fuse?

 

Fuse 15 in the PDC, 10 amp

 

Fuse is good. How do I get to the RKE? How do I get the top cover off as Tizzy1 stated?
