DESS issues

[packfan59]

I have a 2006 RXP and RXT. Recently the RXP won't recognize the key every time and now will shut off the engine altogether. I took it in and they sold me a new key and it works worse than the new one. is it the key post? any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum Lionfan59...I mean packfan59, (J/K)

I hope, the dealer will stand behind his work. He should refund the $ for the key and find the right solution to your problem.

You can clean the post with a pencil eraser or Mr clean magic eraser and see if that helps.

Does it start at all? If not, then try disconnecting the big black plug from the post (about 18 inches away) and check for corrosion at the terminals.

Post back what you find.

if it's not recognizing the key altogether, meaning no beeps sometimes, then it is your post, not your key. if it recognizes it as the wrong key(long single beep and "key" on lcd), it's usually your key but could be your MPEM.
