2003 Key Fob won't program
#1

I apologize in advance if I missed a sticky or a previous thread, but I searched and cannot find one answering my concerns. I have a 2003 X-Type that we just finished putting a motor in, and finishing all the final little cosmetics so I can get it on the road. I replaced the battery to my key fob because it was dead (previous owner stated the car sat in a garage for 5 years with a blown motor) and when I try to program it I get nothing. I turn the key until the dash lights up, turn it back one notch, then go back and forth 4 times until I hear the chime. When I press the button (as instructed from what I read) I get no response and the key fob is still unresponsive. Is there a different way to program for a US market car? Or is it a dead chip (fob motherboard) or is there any other troubleshooting I can go through? Thanks in advance I'm glad I can be apart of this forum now.

Hi Meltdown, welcome to the forum.
It sounds as if you are doing the right thing, is the door closed when you are trying?
If you split the keyfob you may find black marks on the circuit board which will indicate erosion or damage and you can solder them.
Good luck, see if you get lucky and I'll have a dig for soldering info, good luck!!! Stu

Yes I remove it, press the button and still get nothing. I tried everything I could think of and still have nothing. It's too big of an issue for me as the power locking works with the key in the door, but me being lazy I prefer the keyless entry.
