Programming remote for 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan

We recently bought a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. It was manufactured for
(and originally sold in) Canada, and then imported into the US. It
came with 2 remotes, but only one was working. I followed the
procedure in the owners manual to program the 2nd remote, and it began
working, but now the original one no longer works. Is there a reason
why this would happen? Are they perhaps on two different frequencies?
Is there a way to make them both work at the same time?

Thanks,
Trevor

 

When you program one remote you have to program all of the others with it.
Each time you program one you wipe out the others unless they are done too.
Just try it again.

Thanks. I'll try it again. One more question: the manual says I can
only do this 4 times. Since we bought it used, I have no idea how many
times I have left. Is there a way to reset it? (We're actually waiting
to try again until we can get a hold of a couple more, so we'll have
extras in case it won't allow us to do more later.)

Thanks,
Trevor

 

The cell for my year vehicle is blank on this TSB :-(

But from what I have read in my Owner's Manual and from other info
I've found on the web it appears the other procedures in the same row
for different years are similar/identical.

Trevor I don't think it says you can only do it 4 times, I think what it
says is you can only program up to 4 fobs, if you have 5 and program it. It
will drop one off leaving you with only four.\

I have recently purchased a 2k2 grand caravan unfortunatly it came
without remotes, I want to purchase and progam a couple I am led to
believe that I need to have a remote in my possestion before I can
program new ones, and I will have to visit the dealership is this
correct?

 

I Believe on that year you need 2 programmed before you can do the third or
the dealer must do it for you. The max you can have is 4. before you buy
the remote make sure the vehicle is equipped with RKE. If you give me the
last nine of the vin# I can tell you.

That's the same year I have. It only takes one remote to program
another. It does take two keys to program another key.
