    Reprogramming a CSM (Central Security Module)

    My '02 Explorer XLT is in need of a new CSM (Central Security Module). Cost is $120. Dealer tells me new module MUST be reprogrammed using information off of the old one at a cost of $250 (2 hours labor @ $125/hr). Does anyone know if this is REALLY necessary? I know the key fobs need to be...

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    FINALLY have the diagnosis to my problem. It is a defective Central Security Module. Now the question is whether or not I REALLY need to bring it to the Dealer to have it reprogrammed. I have read on here that some people have swapped it out and just had to reprogram the key fobs themselves. The...

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    Keep us posted. I'm totally stumped at this point. Today I speant the time to check the wires once again, and even checked all 6 door switches (all were fine and working properly). Since in my case it's only affecting the power door locks/remote/alarm, I can live with it for now. I don't have...

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    OK, I checked every single wire again and again, and didn't find any broken wire(s) at all. I am getting no power to the power door lock switches at all (Driver and Passenger sides). I took it to the local mechanic and he also checked the wires and found no broken wires. He thinks it is the...

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    I still have not resolved the problem. I checked the wires in both doors, and even testes them from the fuse box to the other end for continuity one by one, and didn't find a single broken wire. Brought it to the mechanic who checked all the wires again, finding nothing. He thinks it is also the...

    How To: Fix the Door Ajar Problem

    Any chance a broken wire in another door other than the Driver's door would cause this issue? I checked all the wires in the Driver's door and didn't find anything broken. Going to check the Passenger door next once the weather warms up a bit.

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    Thanks for the schematic, hopefully it will help. I don't see a fuse labeled in the manual for the power door locks at all. Where is the Central Security Module located? I was thinking of simply checking the ground wire there first (good idea?). I was definitely getting no voltage to the...

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    OK, I took the time to remove all of the tape on the wires, and checked each wire carefully and found no broken wires at all. I removed all the tape from the boot (which I even slid all the way into the door, then back again) to the switches in the doors, and wire by wire didn't find a single...

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    I checked the wires again and found nothing. Should I go as far as un-taping the entire bundle of wires?

    Power Door Lock/Remote/Door Ajar Light Issue

    OK, I haven't found anyone listing this same issue, just close to it, so I'm in need of help. 2002 Explorer XLT - Power door locks stopped working, remotes do nothing, keypad on door does nothing. My "Door Ajar" light is on, but the puddle lights/interior dome lights don't light up when doors...
