    My vote is for flaky contacts in the door key lock cylinder that are making contact randomly.

    There isn't 1 set spot for it. Most of the time it's in the driver's kick panel on a second gen. It can also be under the dash on the driver's side. It's about 4"x4"x1".

    I directly replied to the OP in post #6. I don't think I've read any reply yet directly from the OP.

    That's great information on the factory installed keyless entry. Thank you.

    The aftermarket has no standards as far as keyless entry/alarm control unit location.

    I guess the OP doesn't need any assistance.

    It is easy to get too. Pop out the glove box and it should be easy to find from there.

    It may be tight, but you can get to it without removing the dash.

    Are you sure your keyless entry is factory installed?

    i believe so. i dont think its called keyless entry though, isnt keyless entry when you only meed the key in your pocket and you can open the door and it unlocks when it touches your hand? my old vw gti did that. trucks an 06 trd offroad, which i believe came with the fob

    Keyless entry is where a button is pushed on a wireless remote control to unlock the doors. Many aftermarket alarms can be wired up as a keyless entry without the alarm functions being hooked up. There are aIso aftermarket keyless entry (only) systems available. If you post a picture of the remote control I can tell you what you have.
