KEYLESS ENTRY/SECURITY INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

APPLICABLE MODELS

1996 Protege with a VIN of JM1BB14**T0328873 and lower.

DESCRIPTION

The wiring harness for the power door lock relay has changed for the 1996 Protege. This change affects the installation procedures (Steps 17 and 18) supplied with the Keyless Entry / Security system for 1996 Protege models.

USE THIS INFORMATION:

1. ONLY when installing the Keyless Entry/Security system on 1996 Protege models.

2. To perform Step 17 and Step 18 (Door Lock Connection) instead of the existing steps (17 and 18 only).

3. If a customer complains of door lock functions after a kit was installed (i.e. prior to this Service Bulletin).

CAUTION: An intermediate 8-pin connector was incorporated on early production 1996 Protege Models. This connector is located approximately 6 inches from the door lock relay. This connector has been eliminated during the latest production. THIS CONNECTOR CHANGES THE INSTALLATION METHOD for the "Keyless Entry/Security" kit. Prior to kit performing the attached new steps (17 and 18), verify the level of the production unit.
