screwbaru2 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have a 97 leg. wagon w/ factory remote entry. Question: Should the remote entry work (unlock the door) when the car is running? Mine doesn't. Got locked out of the my tonight:mad: After I got back in I tested it with the window down and it only works when the car is off.

porcupine73 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi. Right on, it only works when the engine is off. Actually I don't think it even works if the key is simply in acc or on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's one of the soob surprises like the parking light switch! wish didn't have to find out @ 0300 on a cold New England morning, but thats the way I learn many lessons the hard way!

porcupine73 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 hehe, yah I think I saw it in the owners manual. I was a little surprised by the same thing, I left the vehicle running and locked the door, figuring I could unlock it with the remote . But then it wouldn't unlock with the remote. Fortunately I was at my house and was able to get the extra key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
