I have a 2000 dodge grand caravan sport. I bought it about 3 years ago. when I bought it it did not have the key fobs with the keys. I took it to my local dodge dealer and they ordered 2 key fobs and programed them for me. total for both plus programing was around $150. well a few months ago I lost my set of keys somewhere and was never able to find them. my wife still had her set and fob so i would always use hers. I ordered a new key fob and followed the directions in the manual on how to program it with an existing fob. well that did not work. i have tried several times to program it using my wife's fob like the manual said. every time i try i don't have any luck. I gave in and called the dealer and they wanted $75 to program the remote. any help would be great.

 

Here is the proceedure from the manual. These system were very tempramental so take your time. If you don't hear the chime, it didn't work and I always have all the doors closed. Through step 5 is using the functional remote and step 6 on is using the unprogrammed remote.


PROGRAMMING RKE MODULE

1. Using a functional key fob transmitter, unlock the vehicle and disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System.
2. Insert ignition key into the ignition switch.
3. Turn the ignition switch to RUN position without starting engine.
4. Using a functional key fob transmitter, press and hold the UNLOCK button for a minimum four seconds (maximum ten seconds)
5. While holding UNLOCK button, and before ten seconds passes, press and release the PANIC button. A single chime will sound to verify that the RKE module is set to receive the new Vehicle Access Code(s)
6. Within 30 seconds of the chime, press and release the "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" buttons on the transmitter at the same time. Then press any one of the buttons. The BCM will sound an abbreviated chime to acknowledge that the programming of the transmitter has been completed and was successful.
7. Repeat step 6 for all transmitters that will be used with this vehicle (up to 4 total)
8. Programming mode will last for 30 seconds. To get out of programming mode sooner, turn the ignition OFF. A single chime will sound to verify that the RKE module will no longer accept additional Vehicle Access Code(s)
9. When Vehicle Access Codes(s) programming is complete, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and verify RKE system operation using each key fob NOTE: Only the two key fob transmitters that have been programmed to the memory seat and mirror system will operate it. If any key fob is replaced, the memory seat and mirror module will require programming. Refer to Group 8R-Power Seat Systems for proper (data link) programming with the DRB III® scan tool.

 

thanks for the steps. I was able to program my new remote but then my wife's remote wouldn't work so i had to go back and do hers. when one works the other doesn't and vise-a-versa. did it hurt that I used the valet key to program the remotes.

 

you have to program both at same time. After it acknowledge the new remote is programed, do the same with the old remote immediately afterward.

 

Thanks. I was finally able to get both to program.

If you don't have a functioning remote, it has to be programmed with a scan tool at the dealer. You need one working remote and then you can program with the steps above.
