Key transmitter?
One of my 2004-300M key transmitters doesn't seem to be working.
The batteries are OK, but I can't get it to function on the car. Is there a way to determine if it's transmitting, before I chuck it for another. |

The dealer has a tool that all it takes is a push of your key fob and it will pick up the signal to see if it is putting out. more then likely your key fob is bad. Check to see that the contacts in the remote has not separated from the circuit board. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

Might be dirty battery contacts too. Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x') |

I thought they must have such a device, but my dealer said they don't. They said all they could do is try to program it, a 30 minute minimum charge. I already did that myself, so no deal. This is a very good dealer. Perhaps I should try another dealer. I'll also check the battery contacts again. |

Take a working key fob, go to an AM radio, tune the radio to static in between stations, put the keyfob next to the radio and press a button, you should hear a blast of static from the working transmitter. If you do not hear the same blast of static from the non-working keyfob, the fob is dead. Ebay has lots of fobs. Ted |

Vancouver, BC.
Who is that homelink device manufacturer. Perhaps I should get one.

Go to AutoZone. On their counter they have a display that tests key
fob transmitters. |

Tuned the receiver to 990 AM. Lots of static. I placed my PT fob next to it. Pressed it. Nothing. No change. And my fob transmitter works. |
