Where is the Keyless Entry Module located??

[furyous68]

I just bought an AlfaOBD license & a bypass module so I can add the GXM code & turn on the keyless entry function. I have power locks & windows, but want to make double sure I have the keyless module & antennae already installed. Can anyone tell me where the heck it's located??

Thanks!

from what I have seen posted before its mounted on back wall behind back seat back rest got to remove seat to get at it

 

[furyous68]

Cool.. thanks! I've got a lighted borescope.. I'll use that to peak around back there. I just need to verify it's there or not.

 

[RamRod37]

not sure if you could get a view of it or not seems like after seat back is removed seems like there is another cover across back wall to remove to get view of it

They call it RF hub and TPMS and remote keyless all goes through that module or (RF hub)

behind the drivers side rear seat, you may notice a vent

just inboard from that vent, there is a RF Hub



In the video below, at the 3:30 minute point, he pull down a flap, where he keeps his AR
You will see the vent & right behind the ARs handle or grip, you should see what i believe your looking for

I actually started running my harness yesterday. I’ve got a four door, so I went with the door antennas in the rear doors like factory, but it would’ve been easier if I did it like you have planned, as I don’t think it makes a difference which doors they’re in. The only thing with your harness...

Ok... yeah, looks like there is an insulation pad covering it. Looks like I'm going to take the seat out. Horrible place to store an AR... would be a pita to get to in a hurry.

While you are taking it out you can do the backseat mod so your backseat folds down easily. Their are 2 ways to do it. I made spacers and raised the seat. Some cut the hooks. I believe it’s in the diy section

Thanks! I'll check it out, sounds like a useful mod.

do you only have sentry keys (key blades) currently? what year and model?

I only had sentry keys and got a cheap remote fob from amazon. programmed baseline keyfobik first so the key would start truck but lock/unlock buttons didn't work.

further research found that I needed to enable RKE under body computer configuration. Can't Find GXM.

After enable RKE, then go in to RF hub, and reset for it to take the RKE config from the Body computer, my lock/unlock buttons started to work after about 10 min.

so.. advise, enable RKE first, reset rf hub, then program your fobik

 

[furyous68]

Yeah, I have the sentry keys... no buttons. Thanks for the heads up on the RKE.

What is the Sentry Key ?
Is it a Transponder Key ? with the chip in the head ?

I think that is a sentry key... I didn't know that's what it is called, but it's what I have.

yup.. that's the Sentry key as per my build sheet.

were you able to remote lock/unload working?

I'm thinking that that Rf hub is the issue in my truck as it shutters the locks every time I try to lock it. Sometimes it works after a few tries and sometimes I have to manually press the lock down. Then they work properly until the truck is started again and I have to repeat the cycle to lock it again.. May have to order one and try it. After 3 years plus and 11 dealer visits I'm at the fix it myself stage even though it's under warranty. Doesn't seem like any of the techs that have had it are terribly good at troubleshooting this thing so far. I guess I'll start by pulling the seat and cover to see if there's anything obvious and go from there.

I have 3 working keys. I think it might be an issue with the module behind the seat thinking there's a key in the vehicle. Actuators, latch assembly and the master control switch have all been changed and wiring gone through some more than once. Can't think of what else might be the cause.

I wish you luck, i started getting lost when i saw a 1970 Charger broke down in my driveway, it had the first Computer controls that i had ever seen

When you say manually pushing the lock down, are you talk about the stem on the door? or the lock button on the door? If the button on the door will cause the shuttering then the problem isn't with the RF hub.

 

[BWL]

The actual stem. The lock button and the fob make it do the stem jumps up and down thing. Once I can get it to lock once then it will unlock and lock perfect as many times as I like until I start the truck again. Then it's back to dancing locks.I know from when I sleep in the truck that the truck doesn't like locking with me in it and after I lock it I have to get out and walk a good 20' or more away before it let's me start the truck. It will say fob not recognized or something of that nature until then. Seems to disable the key when you lock it inside.
