So I bought my car used, and it didn't come with a manual or keyless entry remotes. I got a pair for $30 on ebay, but the trunk opener option on the remotes doesn't work. I was wondering if the 98 2.3CL came with a remote trunk opener, and if so, why isn't my remote working (I programmed the lock and unlock options, and the lremote LED comes on when I press them, but no lights come on when I press the trunk opener).

If not, does anyone know where we can get those installed?

Thanks.

just press and hold for 2 secs.

unless his remotes were not programmed properly to activate the trunk solenoid????
(or is it called something else?)

Yup, just holding down for 2 seconds was all it took... THANKS

Seems kinda silly really... should have just tried to hold it down a little longer...

I guess the Panic button won't work unless I have an alarm, or do I also have to hold that down for 2 seconds to get it to work?

2 seconds or so for panic as well. Nice feature IMO since i cant easily set it off this way

yea.. the panic button takes longer than 2 seconds...

thats cool though.. good thing, i've only accidently set off my alarm once.. the key must have jammed itself in the remote cause i was laying down...? its only happened once

How do you turn the alarm off then? Lock or Unlock?

haiduc

use the unlock button

Is there any way to improve the springrods on the trunk. They seem veary weak to me?
