I have the oppurtunity to get RKE modules out of a junk yard for $25 a piece. I am in need of one myself, though i could get one for u as well, i'd check and see if it worked first. Anyways, i need to know what modules are compitable with our system. I got a module off a 91gtp and it doesn't work in my car, is the module bad or do i need a different kind, the model #'s are different. Thanks,
P.S. I know how to program remotes, and this module doesn't even cycle the locks when grounding the wire in the trunk.
The module is bad. Up till 93 or so they are all the same from a w-body. The way to tell is the next version has two plugs and absolutely won't work.
k, thanks, a lot, the gm dealers couldn't tell me for sure
Let me know how many they have... I may be in need.
I could use one too. Let us know.
Well, I may have spoke too soon. Today i went to get mine exhanged, and we had to rip out like 5 of them before we (me and the jy guy) found one that works. and it is still iffy, the trunk release doesn't work all the time and you have have to push the unlock button twice to get the locks to unlock, the first press does nothing. Anyways, it would be whatever they charge 26.50 + 5 +Shipping. The only reason I am tacking on 5 is because it takes me 1.5hr to get there and 1.5 to get back, plus i have to make sure all the units work and then ship them. let me know (email-pm) for sure if you still want them, and i'll get a list because i only want to go there once.
Thats the problem I had finding junkyard ones. I went to the pull it yourself yard where they only charged a few bucks, but I probably went through 10 junk ones for 1 good one. Resoldering doesn't always fix them either. Its a real crap shoot, but for what the dealer wants I guess its worth it.
For $26 though they should certainly stand behind it, as it appears they are.

Yeah its a pain. Well the jy guy learned alot about rke modules anyways. Hey Chris do you have any ideas of what to look for with my module. It locks and unlocks regualry provided you press the unlock twice quickly, and the truck rarely works. Is there anything common, besides the w-body fix? Thanks,
No not really anything to add.

I have 4 modules sitting here. One from the TGP, one from the white '89 GP, one from a '91 GP , and one from the '94 Cutlass. The TGP and '89 GP ones are the same, part # 10063308. The one from the '91 GP and Cutlass are part # 10063538. BTW, the '94 Cutlass one only has one plug.
maybe the cutties are different, but we found a 96 cutty with 2 plugs
