Have a 97 OBW that I recently picked up. Power locks don't work at all - previous owner didn't have the key fob for the keyless entry either. Car is equipped with factory keyless, even has a sticker stating something about an alarm but I haven't seen any sign of it.
Wondering if there's a common problem that pops up with these regarding the locks - does a fuse go bad, a short on one of the switches that might cause the whole system to be inoperable? Everything else on the car works great, including the power windows, just have to lock each door and the hatch manually from the inside or with the key - kind of a pain.
Also, does anyone know, would the dealership be able to sell me a new fob for the keyless system if I took the car in? I'm guessing they know the lock/unlock codes based on VIN, correct?
Thanks for any input
