Keyless entry finally died...I think

So after almost 2 decades I believe the keyless entry system on my '92 SVX finally died and a month after I bought a new remote too...I dont know if it can be fixed I was looking through some old threads and it seems the best thing to do is just get an aftermarket system...but I am kind of curious as to if anyone would know what happened to it...I got to work got out locked the car with the remote, then 2 hours later came out and tried to unlock it with the remote and nothing. So I unlocked it on the passengers side with the key and the alarm went off lol...I unlocked it from the passangers side because I think the drivers side one is jacked up...so yeah that's it and hasn't worked since then it is kinda odd cus it worked then it didn't

Thanks for your thoughts

Buy a used security module from a part out, then reprogram it for your remotes. Forget those stupid aftermarket systems.

I tried the security module thing... THREE of them later, I put in an aftermarket system. I dont think they're stupid, the remote distance was a LOT farther away, and it had some really nice options like a glass break sensor. Kinda spendy option, but well worth it imo.

Re: Keyless entry finally died...I think

My door locks chatter then lock me inside the car. I had to finally pull the fuse. So u still think I should try to fix it rather than let a car alarm place install a car starter with remote door locks ...So how do u fix them .

Yeah I was thinking aftermarket too...the best buy over here will do the keyless entry for $75 but they will do security, keyless, and remote start for $199.99...anyone used best buy before?

Re: Keyless entry finally died...I think

So even though the car had kyeless remote doors the new auto start will bypass it and they put in new keyless remote door locks . I was afraid they would try to use the OEM
