Default will installing a remote starter...

fix my door lock issues? I have two (2) OEM key fobs that even after replacing the batteries still fail to function. I was wondering if I installed a remote starter would that correct the problem? Any recommended systems and/or ones to avoid? Thanks in advance for your guidance/assistance/advice/suggestions/etc.

No unless I misunderstood the question. I would start by checking fuses for the keyless entry system, power lock button in the jeep still work?

Yes, power lock button inside works and fuses are good. Is there a way to test the fobs?

Have they ever worked?
Are you using (2) 2016 3V batteries?
Remote starter won't fix a failed RKE receiver.

Yes.
Yes.
Thank you for that information.
So now when I went outside to check both fobs again the pass. door module (PDM) is clicking when I attempt to lock/unlock the doors manually from the inside (both driver and pass side). I'm thinking I should just replace the PDM. Thoughts, suggestions?
