Is there a way to switch the transponders from one truck to another? Can I just simply swap out the modules w/o the need to "re-code"?

I have an 01 and an 04. I want to swap the electrical guts from the 01's key transponder into the 04's. The 04's key transponder buttons are non-existent.

 

I probably should have ran a search first. Boo me.

I think I found a solution to my broken transponder button problem.

I'm still curious if I can swap modules from the 01 to the 04. Where is the control module located?

 

Did you see this thread?

It does not address your question about the key fob receiver but does have the solution to worn buttons on the fob.

 

Yes, I read through it. My issue is not with the rubber buttons on the transponder cover. My issue is with the actual circuit board buttons, they are gone!

 

The module is above the headliner over the 2nd row seats. That would be a LOT of work to swap modules, and I don't know with 100% certainty that would work.

The buttons on the fob circuit board are missing, or have the solder joints just broken? I only got one key when I bought mine, and have traded the circuit board to new key fobs over the years as the rubbers wore out, or the case cracked. I now have 3 keys that will start it...only 1 has working buttons.

 

The BECM is coded to the remote.

Need to swap BECM, ECU, and gauge cluster. Car will show the mileage of the donor units.

Fix the switches on the circuit board. Way less hassle.

 

That's what I was looking for. Thanks. Time to break out the magnifying glass and soldering gun.
