gonna piggyback in this thread...just picked up an 01 sport and my remote keyless kinda only works when it wants...sometimes it works from 100ft away, sometimes from 6ft...sometimes I gotta use my key...had AutoZone check the battery, and it checked out okay...

They don't have a very good range, the keyless entry (for 97+) unit is located in the over head light, its built into the circuit panel. Does ur over head lights work properly?

Yea all lights work everything. It was working no problems at all besides the lame range but I wasn't sure how old the batteries were so I figured ill change em. Changed em and now it doesn't work at all.

My 96 sport has keyless entry and doesn't have good range, I found by just pointing it in the window as you walk up to your car. Mine spotted working due to the soldier connections on the actual button part thats inside. I took mine to a computer store and the resoldiered it for five bucks. Works great now.

Scratch this thread I cleaned the whole remote nothing. Took the batteries out put em back in started working go figure.

Autozone and advance have keyless entry battery testers right on the counter. That'd be my first step in troubleshooting.
