In a 2G Eclipse Spyder GS.
I’m trying to program a new OEM key fob and having issues.
I jumped pins 1 and 4 and went through the pairing steps, tried several times. No luck.
The key fob that came with it is definitely not OEM. And the alarm goes off sometimes if I use the key fob to lock/unlock and then open a door.
I’ve had to use the physical key to lock and unlock to avoid the alarm from blaring, it is deafening and the only way I can shut it off is by disconnecting the battery.
I also noticed the passenger side electronic locking mechanism is very weak. Sometimes it seems like it’s lacking enough power to fully lock. Like it tries, lags, then just quits.
I figure this can be why the alarm goes off unexpectedly after locking/unlocking and opening the driver side door, if the passenger lock never got fully engaged and didn’t lock.
What I am wondering is if there may be an aftermarket alarm installed that I just don’t know of. I checked and found the OEM alarm module behind the back seat, it is plugged in.
If there is some aftermarket alarm system, is there a typical place it would go?
I would really like to just get the OEM fob working and remove any aftermarket stuff like that.
I just don’t know where to even begin looking.
