Remote Door Lock

[jeepsrule]

My Remote control went swimming with me in a real bright moment. I removed the battery and dried it out carefully and replaced the battery. It works about 30% of the time now, which leads me to the question. Has anyone replaced a remote and if so do you order it from Monaco?

I'm blaming the stupidity on the Florida Humidity

Never buy from Monaco LLC, you will pay double. Go direct TriMark Corporation - Contact Us

If Trimark doesn't stock what you need, you can order from Monaco. In either case, be sure you understand how to program the new unit. I needed a new remote, but had the coach at Monaco service on Oregon and they took care of it. When I needed to replace remote on a Saturn, dealer needed the one old remote to reprogram system so both would work. I'm, not sure what's involved in program,ing, it may be simple and someone with more experience may want ot comment.

If Trimark doesn't have the parts although hard to imagine, I would try MegaRV before Monaco. But if you insist on going to Monaco the decision is yours. This brings to mind a quote I herd once from a old timer, "Lotta money got it, Good time have it"

I second Drifters recomendation, past experience... New shower door from Monaco = $544, Mega RV Parts = $175.....

Thanks all! I'm contacting TriMark for information on what they have. The manual shows how to re-authorize a remote, so I don't think that will be hard. It certainly doesn't look like its as tough as some of the car systems. I had a Mini Cooper that takes an act of God to get a new key. A certain number of the computer chip Keys are produced to match the ignition of the Mini when they are built. If I remember right it's like 8 key blanks are made for each car. The dealer has to order them from parts and when they arrive they need a working key and the car to be able to computer match the system to accept the new key. This is not that tough. Hopefully TriMark will have replacements.

Jeepsrule -

I agree! Jeeps Rule.

That said, I've got the TriMark manual that explains how to program a new fob and also how to reprogram the button panel on the coach so the code isn't 1234 etc.

You can download them from the TriMark site - go here....

And they for sure will sell you a new clicker.

Thanks. TriMark answered my email in two hours and gave me the part number, price and manual that I would need to reprogram and use the new remote. Seems like a great company to work with. A new remote costs $23.02 so I may order two and have a spare.

Sounds like you made the right call going to Trimark. I replaced my door latch and they were great helping me get the right part.
