2000 dodge caravan keyless entry

This is the layout of jumper pins.

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

ONLY TWO REMOTES CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO THIS VEHICLE.

Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle.
1. Locate the data link connector (DLC) under the hood and jump pin 12 to pin 8. This means use a suitable wire or a bent paper clip and make contact with the metal in both terminals.
2. Insert key into ignition and turn ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Press the LOCK button on the remote twice. You should hear the buzzer for about 1 second, this means the remote was accepted to memory.
4. Turn ignition switch to the OFF position. Remove jumper wire from DLC.
5. Programming is now complete. Test remote to ensure proper programming.

"Connect pin 1 of the 16-way data link connector to chassis ground or to pin 4 of the 16-way data link connector."

What does this mean??????

I suggest check the right procedure in your owners manual, and keep in mind this...

Here is a quick HowTo on programming your own keyless entry:

1) Turn ignition to OFF.
2) Locate the Data Link Connector, its a black 16 pin connecter that is under the driver's side dash, right where your right knee would be. You have to look up into the dash from below to see it.
3) Ground pin 1 of the Data Link Connector by taking a wire or paper clip and running it from pin 1 to pin 4. Pin 4 is ground so you can just short pin 1 to 4 and it will be grounded. Grounding pin 1 tells the system you are ready to reprogram it.
4) Close all of your doors.
5) Turn the key to ACC then back off. The power door locks will lock/unlock. This is the signal that the system is ready for reprogramming.
6) Push a button on your key fob, doesn't matter which button.
7) If you have 2 key fobs, then press a button on the 2nd fob within 1 minute of pressing a button on the 1st fob. Both must be programmed at the same time. If you only have 1 fob then press a button 2 more times to signal that you only have one.
8) The doors will lock/unlock to signal the codes were received.
9) Remove the jumper wire from the data connector. This is the same process that I use/used to reprogram my stock key fob. It's word for word on how to do this on your Avenger/Sebring. Since it's not in my own words I used quotes and it was written (or copied) by several folks with either 2G Eclipses/Talons or Avenger/Sebrings,


Hope helps.
