its in the back deck...under the carpet...well, @ least thats where it is on my '97 cutty...

That is where i was told it was on the '90 we have...I definately need to pull that bastard out and repair it.

repairing thems SO easy, just melt the old ones, and then add more to it, http://www.w-body.com has a nice write up on it

they are pretty easy to fix. i fixed mine four times now. the first three times i simply reheated the solder joints and it would only work for about a month. the last time i fixed it (well over a year ago) i added just a bit of paste flux while reheating the solder joints. still working great

[willsv8]

but i can't find mine. where is it?? looked at the back deck under the carpet

[Prospeeder]

mine was replaced or somthing, becuase i took off the grill to my rear passenger side speaker and there it was, and still is, un bolted in, lol, but you may have to take out the back seat if its still in the stock position

 

Remove the keyless entry receiver from the car.

To remove the receiver:

Remove lower seat cushions by removing a bolt from bottom of each seat cushion(s) (2 bolts on a rear bench seat).

Remove upper seat back(s) by removing nuts at bottom of the seatbacks and then lifting upwards to disengage.

Remove upper 1/4 panel trim by using a trim panel remover. Remove any courtesy light(s) that may be installed on them. Use care not to apply too much force to plastic trim.

Some cars may require removal of lower/side 1/4 trim panel, they are usually snapped in. Use a trim panel remover.

Remove two plastic trim panel fasteners from front of rear package shelf trim panel. Use a trim panel tool.

Locate keyless entry receiver module, it should be on the right (passenger) side near the speaker. It is a black plastic box with 8-wires going to it.

Remove two plastic rivets holding receiver module to rear package shelf.

Disconnect wire harness from receiver module.

it's mounted right next to the passenger 6x9 speaker. if the reciever isn't there, maybe just the plug for it is? someone may have removed it.

 

check your 'Service Parts Identification' sticker in the trunk. if it has code 'AU0' then you have keyless entry.

[Prospeeder]

if its not there, its VERY easy to find at the j/y. i just went, took my hand and just tore the entire rear deck apart to find them and, of course, none of them worked, lol! but you might be able to resoder those

[willsv8]

thanks for all the help ! will have to pull the seats out on sunday wish me luck

[TeeJay3800]

Mine could not be repaired. I ended up going to a salvage yard and getting another one. After reprogramming, it works great!

[willsv8]

this is bullshit!!!!! went to the j/y today got 3 of the reciever box's none of them work?? so now i'm getting a remote starter with the lock/unlock option

 

p.s have 2 remote's one is a olds one is a buick 4 sale

[94CutlassSLCoupe]

have you resoldered any of them?

[R Dubya]

did you program the remotes to work with the new RKE receiver? if not than that may be why none of them function.

[willsv8]

did the ground test to see if they worked all 3 failed. :bawl:

They need resoderd or somthing, use your stocker, and resoder it, remeber to ADD flux to it. the write up tells you exactly where to soder, worked for me! Also, try all the remotes you have, i have one thats dead

[willsv8]

i was to lazy to resoder them my car was missing the one that came with the car. i was trying to get lucky with one of the 3 but that did not work out

[Prospeeder]

it seriously takes like 15 minutes for a begginer to resoder them

[99RegalGS]

I guess I lucked out with the reciever I got out of a 94 Regal at the j/y for my cutlass. Now I need to either find another box for my Regal or fix it. grr.

[GnatGoSplat]

With good paste flux, you don't even really have to add any more solder to the joints. I used paste flux on the 94's keyless entry and then it worked great. Still working great 3yrs later!

 

Be sure to use rosin flux, not acid flux!

[TeeJay3800]

Yes, but only if the box is repairable. My dad is an electrical engineer and even he could not repair my box using Shawn's instruction on the main page. I guess sometimes the boxes are just too far gone to fix.

[willsv8]

UPDATE have the reciever box working but have 2 remote's that don't work i give up going to get the remote starter/lock/unlock installed over the week end

 

p.s thanks for all the input love this site!!!
