remotes wont work
When I purchased my Crossfire in April the dealer "forgot to mention that the remotes will not work. I discovered this when I arrived home and tried to lock the car for the first time. So far this has not been anything more than a bother. I discovered that all this time the trunk was not locked even if I locked the doors "DUH".
All of the batteries are new, Guess the dealer really did know, the led in the remotes does glow as well. The remotes do absolutely nothing at all. The lock button works great and does lock the trunk as well, but as soon as you open the door all the doors unlock.
I have tried to sinc the remotes (push the unlock button twice and turn the car on) with no luck.
Like I said really no major issue but it is the only defect the car has.

Hello, have you tried to re-sync the remotes? There is a procedure here in the forum, to resync the remotes. That might be the only problem your having. Don't take this as firm, but I think you put the key in, turn to 'ON' (not start) and press the lock/unlock buttons together. To be sure, do a search and find the right post on how to sync the remotes. Good luck!

The 2004 manual says the following.
To synchronize,aim the transmitter eye at the vehicle and briefly press either the Lock or the Unlock button twice. Within approximately 30 seconds, insert the key in the ignitionand turn it to the ON/RUN position. The remote control should once again be operational.
That's what it says anyway, otherways may work but ......

Glad to see you are back.

Re: remotes wont work
Stupid question : does the dome light and cargo light work ?
If not, replace fuse #9 in the under hood accessory block and your remote will probably start working again.
( happened to me )
Seems there is a power feed from this fuse to the Central Locking Pump, no power, no remote.
BTW, good to hear from you GG !
