HELP!! Keyless entry programming

Q: john doe wrote anyone got any tricks to help a poor $ap save about a grand a do it himself. not in this case. but you could look at a service manual and see what it says. or talk to a tech and he may have another idea. there often easy ways around things other than going by the book. but often it means cutting or grinding you way in there and that is often not nice. the problem is just not with dodge but a lot of newer vehicles. try a ford aerostar with all the options and youll be loving you dodge truck. to pull the motor on an aerostar you have to undo all the front suspension components and remove the engine and tranny by lifting the vehicle overhead. fun! .

bob that might explain the brake light but not the abs light. hmmmm. fred unca bob wrote just a guess - your brake light switch/stop lamp switch - usually located up high on the brake pedal inside the vehicle is wearing and needs replaced. pretty easy repair and not that expensive. give your autoparts store a call for pricing. unca bob i have a 1996 dodge 2500 conversion van. yesterday i started the van and drove it around the house to hook up a trailer. i left it running. when i got back in the van the brake light was on. i set and released the parking brake but the light stayed on. i thought it might go out by time i drove around the house. by time i got to the street the abs light came on. the brakes felt fine however i shut off the engine and checked the brake fluid. all was well. when i restarted the van the lights were out and remained out for the remainder of the trip. i know there might not be a lot to go on here but i am just curious as to what could be the issue if there really is an issue. thank you fred .

no you didnt theres a template to cut out the inner fender panel... john doe wrote why does chrysler insist on burying parts designed to wear out behind so much other stuff. parts with a 3-5 year life expectancy should not require 8-12 hours labor to replace. my 2000 dakota has a heater core leak. the entire dash has to be removed then the heater /evap box has to be removed and that means the a/c must be emptied flushed and refilled with r134. 8-12 hours shop time for a 100.00 part. plus who knows what else will need replacing along the way! dodge has done crap like this for years and i hoped it had wised up. and this is just wrong on soo many levels! anyone got any tricks to help a poor $ap save about a grand a do it himself. i had to remove the right front fender of a buick just to replace the heater motor. 6 in one hand and half to much in the other. jam .
