    All you need to know about keyless entry

    So long as your car cranks, your battery shouldn't be low enough to effect it. Possible things that could effect it in my opinion: There could be a short in the wiring. Battery in remote going dead. Simple fix. About 4 bucks. Or contacts on the remote dirty. You can clearn them with a pencil...

    All you need to know about keyless entry

    Yea, video is a much better bet with the iPhone. It can't adjust the resolution since it is so close and taking a 2d picture. There is nothing else to create a focal point.

    All you need to know about keyless entry

    If you don't care about looks, just cut the panel itself. That's what I ended up doing to mine. I used a small jigsaw and cut my own access panel.

    All you need to know about keyless entry

    No. It's not the only way. If you can find a small mirror, you can put it on a stick or something and use a flashlight and mirror to read it. Or if you have a smartphone, shine a flashlight back there and stick your phone on video as far back as you can. Sometimes, the sticker is able to be read...

    RAP module replacement

    Not sure if the 96 has the same fuses as the 95, but if it does, there are two fuses. One in the panel behind the door, and one under the hood. Should be in the fuse section of your manual.

    Camping mods

    Hey guys, What kind of camping/outdoor mods have yall done? I'm looking for new ideas to do to mine. I don't need it for a daily driver anymore and will only be using it for fun. Thinking about taking out the backseats and putting some extra battery compartments and storage there. Any other ideas?

    Key Chain Remote -Anti Theft -Key Pad No Longer Work

    That is how I installed them. I always disconnect the battery when working on the electronics. I had taken a battery to PAP when I first got the door and hooked it up to the car to make sure it all worked. The light came on then, but now its not. I don't think it would be the RAP module itself...

    Key Chain Remote -Anti Theft -Key Pad No Longer Work

    Yea. I am thinking of going back this week. I have a nissan I am working on, so I always need parts. haha. I will get the keypad and do trials. I did some research on the electric shock to the module though. From what I gather, it is the seats being put up and down that causes a static...

    Explorer weight loss program

    Also, I know its adding weight, but it cuts drag so it makes up for it double, fiberglass wheel covers. It looks futuristic/geek, but I know that they added about 5 mpg in a jeep that only originally got 11mpg, so I would imagine if your racing, that would be a lot less drag. I know you said...

    Explorer weight loss program

    If you are not driving it a long distance, so when you are trying to get better time, remove the belt from the alternator. Just get a short belt to compensate. I did have the exact belt you needed, but my computer crashed and I haven't found the bookmark again. I am in this same process, but for...

    RAP module replacement

    Hey. I know its been about 6 months. But if you are still wanting the keyless remote entry, and you have no RAP, I would say that your best bet is one of the aftermarket, universal, remote systems. They run about $100. You can normally get them installed at a car stereo shop for around $150-200...

    All you need to know about keyless entry

    There is a wire coming out of the plug on the RAP. It is pnk/yel. This wire does the lock all feature. Could be broken, frayed, etc. somewhere. I would try checking it. Also, you could check the data wire. it is lt blu/wht. Though I would imagine that the lock all wire could cause both issues.

    Key Chain Remote -Anti Theft -Key Pad No Longer Work

    Hey. Thanks for the reply! I went to pull a part and got a two new RAP modules since they were only $8 a piece. The first one didn't work. The second one only unlocks. I found out that the problem is that the 7 key does not work on my door. Also, the light went out on it. But the original RAP...

    Key Chain Remote -Anti Theft -Key Pad No Longer Work

    One last thing. Is there any way to get that wiring diagram from you if you still have it? I tried to locate it, but cannot. I plan to experiment on it until I find something that works. If I don't hear back in a few, I will head to PAP and snag a new module anyway. I plan on pulling the horn...

    Key Chain Remote -Anti Theft -Key Pad No Longer Work

    Also, when you hit the button on the inside of the doors to lock/unlock, did they work with the bad RAP?

    Key Chain Remote -Anti Theft -Key Pad No Longer Work

    THANK YOU.. And a follow up question (If you want to skip my tale and just read my question, its the last paragraph. But I find that my tale is descriptive and informative.) Thank you so much. I am printing out this and sticking it in my repair manual so I have it again for later. I am...
