Programming remote for 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan

    We recently bought a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. It was manufactured for
    (and originally sold in) Canada, and then imported into the US. It
    came with 2 remotes, but only one was working. I followed the
    procedure in the owners manual to program the 2nd remote, and it began
    working, but now the original one no longer works. Is there a reason
    why this would happen? Are they perhaps on two different frequencies?
    Is there a way to make them both work at the same time?

    Thanks,
    Trevor

    When you program one remote you have to program all of the others with it.
    Each time you program one you wipe out the others unless they are done too.
    Just try it again.

    Thanks. I'll try it again. One more question: the manual says I can
    only do this 4 times. Since we bought it used, I have no idea how many
    times I have left. Is there a way to reset it? (We're actually waiting
    to try again until we can get a hold of a couple more, so we'll have
    extras in case it won't allow us to do more later.)

    Thanks,
    Trevor

    The cell for my year vehicle is blank on this TSB :-(

    But from what I have read in my Owner's Manual and from other info
    I've found on the web it appears the other procedures in the same row
    for different years are similar/identical.

    Trevor I don't think it says you can only do it 4 times, I think what it
    says is you can only program up to 4 fobs, if you have 5 and program it. It
    will drop one off leaving you with only four.\

    believe that I need to have a remote in my possestion before I can
    program new ones, and I will have to visit the dealership is this
    correct?

    I Believe on that year you need 2 programmed before you can do the third or
    the dealer must do it for you. The max you can have is 4. before you buy
    the remote make sure the vehicle is equipped with RKE. If you give me the
    last nine of the vin# I can tell you.

    That's the same year I have. It only takes one remote to program
    another. It does take two keys to program another key.
