I have been searching off and on for almost 2 years for a replacement security and locking module to replace my water damaged one. Searching the web, I had not been able to find a match. I finally found their website and they had a match. I got it ordered and it's on the way. It's a good thing as I had been able to bypass or live with the problems it was giving me. Just recently, I was getting a no start problem. I hope to report back next week that most of not all of my issues are resolved.

 

Congrats on finding one. You are not still problem free the SCLM is a programmable module. Its isn't plug and play. Once plugged inn it will not be able communicate with the key chip because it won't recognize it. Find a good local Indy and have him switch it program.

 

that may be a problem, can anyone recommend a good indy in southeast Iowa? Even the closest dealer is 100 miles away.

 

What type of equipment would an indy need to have to be able to program the slm?

 

If the part # and suffix tally, I would give it a try. Some members have reported that they have replaced that module without issue. You can always swop back to get you mobile again in the event it doesn't play well.

You will need to reprogram the key fobs. See crbass' post in this thread:

I plan on at least trying it, I might get lucky. In the mean time, I called a shop that did a lot of foreign work and they referred me to a place in Iowa City that specializes in European cars. This place said they world have to check with their technicians to see if they could work with a used part. Yeah, I know shops want to sell you the parts, but when they are discontinued, used is the only option. Crossing my fingers.

 

My module came today, I installed it, then started testing faults that I had. Doors locked and unlocked with the key, key in ignition, car would come out of park. Turned ignition, car started right up. ✅ I disconnected the fuse to the switches I had installed to operate the top. Pressed the top down button, quarter windows lowered, front windows dropped, top unlatched and lowered. Pressed top up button, top raised, latch opened, latch grabbed top and closed, quarter windows raised and front windows closed. Success each step of the way. Took both keys and valet key out, each key started the car. Entered key fob programming sequence and programed both key fobs. Total of 5 times between the 2 fobs. Success. It appears that I have regained all functions that I had lost due to the security module getting damaged by moisture. Replacement module was a match to VCATS number and was plug and play in my experience.

 

As always we shipped the exact working unit that matched the program to your exact car lol Jagbits for the win! Glad we could help you David and thanks for trusting us!

 

Well done....
