Anyway: Back to my problem of multiple devices acting up - it appears that all of them somehow are communication with the RKE module - the one that was found broken off of it's two mounting screws and rattling around the rear fender well for ...maybe years. Are there any internal boards that could break or short out in a RKE module? Effecting the headlights, door locks, dome light, radio, driver's electric seat (memory seat), foglights, the unlock all doors button flashes my headlights:)! - YET, the car starts and drives fine - all other accs are ok and the alarm has not sounded or armed during this process. In fact perhaps the alarm module will not arm because it gets a feed from the RKE too? I see that it does on the wiring diagram.
Also: this RKE module is no longer available - what is the best replacement RKE to use and can I program our existing fobs to work with the newer RKE?
