Hi folks,

I upgraded to a nice 2000 model Ranger with keyless entry. I was disappointed when I realized the keyless entry won't work when the motor is running. I don't know how to defrost my windows when it is cold outside except get an extra key.

Anyone else run into this glitch and is there a way around the issue?

U have a remote start?

 

No, not yet anyway. I typically go out on frosty mornings and start the truck and wife's car and use the keyless fob to lock the doors. Won't work on the 2000 Ranger.

 

The keyless FOBs usually do not work with the key in the ignitiion.

 

thats weird, mine works just fine. i can leave it running and lock and unlock it with the remote.

 

I believe you have to have that installed like a remote start. I also have a heater fan that plugs into the cigarette lighter that works great too. Picked it up at Harbor Freight for around $10.

Little yellow heater fan with built in flash light? I has that too

 

When its frosty out i just use the deicer washer solvent, waste of gas otherwise.

Snow sure warm it up while I clean it off, sub zero days it gets some idle time. Now if the garage only had heat.
