I once programmed the car remote and it worked but after months remote stopped working. I got brand new remotes from dealer but they won't program. When i ask to erase remotes in car memory it works buit won't program to car. Any solution for this car?

Rke module is built into bcm if the bcm thinks it is in theft mode it will disable programming if the drb states theft try applying b+ power to c5 terminal 20. When programming fob turn the igniton to the off position but not lock. Also check if bcm has been changed 95-00 use same but same part. but 98-00 are updated and only 98-00 fobs work with them drb should tell you what year module is.

SUBJECT: Remote Keyless Entry Programming Information

DATE: Jun. 12, 1998

DISCUSSION:

The listed models are shipped from the factory with only one key FOB transmitter. If a second FOB is added, it must be purchased through MOPAR and is not considered a warrantable item.
Whenever a second FOB is programmed, the original FOB must also be re-programmed. If the original FOB is not re-programmed with the second FOB, the original FOB will not function.
The following two procedures are available to program key FOB transmitters.
Programming Procedures With The DRB III?

1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle and power it up.
2. Select scan tool stand alone mode, current model year diagnostics, then body.
3. The screen will ask if this is a 95-99 Avenger/Sebring/Talon, select yes.
4. Follow the directions and prompts on the scan tool screen as follows:
   1. Close all doors, turn ignition key to off.
   2. Turn ignition key to Accessory.
   3. Turn ignition key to off, door locks will cycle once (in programming mode).
   4. For each key FOB, press any button 3 times in a row to program code. When programming is complete, the door locks will cycle once.
   NOTE: IF A SECOND KEY FOB REQUIRES PROGRAMMING, IT MUST BE PROGRAMMED WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF THE FIRST FOB PROGRAMMING. PRESS ANY BUTTON ON THE SECOND FOB 3 TIMES TO PROGRAM ITS CODE. WHEN PROGRAMMING IS COMPLETE, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE ONCE.
