I have the car listed above S model.. My key-less entry and dome light quit working. I do have a sunroof. I do have a aftermarket alarm system as well by Viper. Since I usually put the alarm on at work and factory around home.

Hi,

The first thing I suggest is to check the fuses. There are a total of 6 that I need you to inspect. I attached a pic below of their locations.

Since this vehicle does have an aftermarket alarm, I'm not sure where they spliced into the system to install the anti-theft system. Please bear with me.

In addition to checking the fuses, confirm there is power both to the fuse and out.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

Joe, I checked all the fuses in the engine bay and under the steering column and I had a replace 7.5 fuse since it was popped and still nothing.The factory key-less was working before hand.I was thinking if the key-less module that's on the driver's side on the side panel near the fuses went bad.I was thinking of using the paper clip trick. I did go to get the car diagnosis done and everything came working condition.

Hi,

Honestly, I'm not familiar with what you mean by the paper clip trick.

If the system was scanned and nothing showed up in the diagnostics, I have a feeling it is related to the viper alarm system.

Let me know what I can do to help.
