Key doesn't work

Brentt · Feb 5, 2012

When I purchased. My 2002 FE a couple of years ago I got two keys with the car. One worked and the other didn't. I figured it was a bad battery but I recently replaced the battery and it still doesn't work. Ay suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Brentt

Are you talking about the Remotes? If so may need to be programmed.

If you hold both buttons down, does it chirp?

Brentt · Feb 5, 2012

Yes, the remote doesn't work.

I haven't tried holding both buttons down, but I get nothing, nada, zip, with one.

How do I program the key?

For others who may be confused by the above question: "How do I program the key?"...these are simple keys...no chips. The poster is referring to the process of programming the fob (the remote transmitter usually attached to the key). Also re-synchronizing a fob and programming a fob are two distinct processes.

There was a really good write up on this in a recently previous viper magazine. Like steve said very different process.

Correct you are. The second keyfob could very well already be programmed but out of Syncronization. The Viper uses a rolling code security system. The fob and DEI door entry module increment together. So replacing the battery might not fix. First thing you do is hold both the buttons down and attempt to recync. If that does not work, then you program the fob.
