[Remote entry reprogramming procedures, 96-up Pathy]

I just purchased a remote off of ebay and spent almost an hour just trying to enter the registration mode.

Is there any other way to enter the registration mode? Is it really difficult to perform. Or am I just doing it wrong. I've done it slow and fast. How long do you have to leave it in the cylinder for it to register a count?

 

I just did this yesterday --

 

I think in the beginning your in the mindset of doing it very carefully, therefore you end up doing it too slow. That's what I thought was necessary to make it recognize what I was trying to do.

 

So, anyway, after doing that a few times with no success, I started doing it more quickly. I figure on my successful attempt I did it exaclty about one key insertion/removal per second. Perhaps even a bit less -- it felt like I was going too quick, but it worked.

 

So maybe try the process a bit quicker.

 

Good luck.

BTW, exactly how many miles are on your 98?

 

Only 135k

 

 

Just got all the rear lateral bars replaced yesterday ... the death wobble is no more!

See! I told you theyre all special in their own way!

 

hahaha... I guess you're right

 

hahaha he said 98 is older. :D

 

Well, not as "old" as yours. I do have more miles on mine though! And believe me, for a '98, it's really rough around the edges.

Okay, okay... I snapped a quick pic. There she is in all her glory.

 

If you look close you can notice the mis-match rear door windows (the tints are different) from a "break-in" not too long ago. Funny thing is the passenger side is the opposite - from another break-in, of course. This was all before I owned it, not that it really matters.

 

I've had it just about a week now. I gave the interior a thorough cleaning and the exterior a quick wash yesterday. It desperately needs some clay bar and cleaning wax attention soon. Just today I replaced a section of wiper fluid hose (had a leak) and dropped in a K&N panel filter. As I mentioned before, the rear control arms will get addressed soon - that death wobble has got to go.

 

Would love to attend Nor'easter '07, but I won't be able to. I think by next year I'll have in her in good enough shape to attend. I've been wanting to get into off-roading for a while now.

 

Thanks to all those who have responded so far.

Hello NPORA - I'm new here out of Baltimore, MD.

 

I recently acquired a white/tan '98 SE auto. It was my in-laws, then gifted to my wife, and handed over to me.

 

I've been wanting an older suv/truck for a while now, so I'm excited to finally have something. It's been a bit neglected over the years, but I'm here to learn as much as I can and hopefully return it to some of its former glory.

 

I've learned a lot here on the boards so far. In particular, I was able to diagnose the common "wobble" problem. Those rear control arms will be addressed sometime this week.

 

Anyway, hello again - glad to be a part of NPORA.

 

I would post some pics, but you've all seen a stock 98 SE I'm sure. Besides, I don't have any
