jim_nash37 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Security System is by Essex Electronics, and only had one remote, and its buttons are not working, even after new battery. Have called several local shops and everyone says unit to old for fob replacement. Has anyone had to do this before and have any suggestions? Thanks for any help, Jim B
bill4029 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I saw this tip on the IRV2 site.. try these folks for your remote https://www.cruisingforremotes.com/keyless-remotes/fccid/jlftx4/
vito.a Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Bill is correct. the early Essex remotes are no longer available. I purchased a new Remocon RMC-105 universal remote fob from:https://www.cruisingforremotes.com/They preset the frequency (on the back of the old remote) and I programmed it to my original RF receiver. It locks, unlocks, and also lights the entry lights.
wamcneil Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Essex uses a generic keyless entry module in conjunction with their keypad module. Couple years ago when I replaced mine, they were supplying one by Avital, which was also available separately on Amazon. Replacing the entire wireless module is pretty simple . I detailed the install herehttps://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/essex-1603-keypad-and-wireless-replacement-330319.html Cheers Walter
jim_nash37 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Posted December 17, 2020 Many Thanks for the suggestions. I've contacted, crusingforremotes, which is ABS Auto Security, in San Pedro CA, and since they did not recognize the FCC ID, I read off of the back of the fob, they suggested I mail them the fob and they would set up two new remotes. So, its on its way by Registered mail. I'll let everyone know how this works out. Thanks again, Jim B
Dennis T Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 You can also replace the module in the dash and remotes with something like https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Keyless-Entry-Engine-Start-System-Key-Activated-Keyless-Access-Door-Entry/174409911942?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 like I did.
