I believe the receiver is located aft of the gas tank filler neck inside the rear compartment under the carpet liner on the left side.

I just had the same problem recently & the dealership told me that it was because I had a 97-99 fob & a 00 fob & that they were cancelling each other out. They couldn't explain why they'd both worked fine for three years though. They reprogrammed the 00 fob & when I went to pick her up yesterday I made the service writer show me that it did indeed work. He pointed it at the car &....... Nothing happened. I was & he was He said that it must be because it was stored near the other fob on his desk overnight. I gave him a We took the battery out of the 97-99 fob & re-synched the 00 fob & I drove the car home.

I thought he was full of but the fob is now operating normally. Does anyone need a 97-99 fob?
