Angry New drivers side door help

I went to pick n pull and got a new door for my 98 zj. I got it on no problem but i don't have the key for the door and the remote wont unlock it. Getting tired of being ghetto and opening the back door and reaching to the front to unlock it. Old internals are bad, so no point in swapping them. Is there anyway to program the door to work with the remote at least? Or can i somehow get a key made without spending 300?

Welcome to CF!

It's probably the electric lock solenoid in the new door, not the system, especially if the remote unlocks all the other doors. It may be just stuck linkage or a burnt out solenoid.

If you kept the old door, try swapping out the solenoid, etc. Also check ALL electrical connections inside the door. HTH, Good Luck!
