RS3000 remote programming issues -1997 80 series

[Jake Smalls]

Okay, so I just bought this cruiser that has a factory VIP RS3000 security system. I got no remotes from the PO. I bought the correct black remote and have attempted to program it. When I turn on the key and hold the green button down on the ECU for 3 seconds, the light comes illuminates on the in dash status indicator, when I push the remote button, the light goes out, and I hear a click in the dash, but the horn doesn't sound, the headlights don't flash and the remote doesn't work.

I removed the dash and found an errant white wire coming from a wire loom that isn't connected to anything. I've attached a picture and would appreciate any help you can give. I'm not very good with electrical issues.

Thanks!

So after reading a bunch of earlier posts, I tried holding the remote button down for a little longer while the red light was illuminated. The horn blew 3 times then short pause, then blew once and did this until I pressed the remote button which stopped it. Remote still won't operate door locks.

Do all of your door switches work properly? On my '94 with the factory alarm if the door isn't closed all the way the alarm won't set. I've even had it where it was closed enough for the dome light to be out but the door wasn't 100% latched and the remote wouldn't lock the doors.

Thank you bmwjnky! Yes, they're all locked and closed. I'm getting ready to have a friend help me trace where that wire terminates at the ECU. Hopefully, that'll give us some direction. I've tried everything else.

The white wire may be your antenna.

You can also find the manual at Sleeoffroad.com (along with a bunch of other stuff you need).

Thank you TomH! I'm going to trace it all down while using the info you suggested from Slee.

Any luck with this?
