Hi Forum. Our 2002 626 remote key fob only works intermitently. Having changed the fob battery I'm begining to think it might be the car end of the system might be temperature dependent. Two questions then. Has anybody got any experience of this and where is the remote locking radio reciever and areial located in the car?

Hi Forum. It is difficult to believe that no one has any idea where the remote door locking/keyless door locking receiver and antena are located. Has any one got any clues? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks dave87. As the problem is intermittent and gives the impression of being the car end of the system, I needed some idea of where to start looking to see if I can find the relay which initiates the locking.

As a suplimentry question does any one have access to a wiring diagram for a 2002 RHD 626 Auto Gsi Hatch Back ?

On a 2002 626 the keyless entry module and receiver are under the rear package tray just behind the rear seats. Should be a rather small box with only three wires going to it.
You might also check the contacts inside the key fob where the battery positive and negative make contact. Have seen some problems with poor contact and bending the connection tabs just a bit to make tighter contact have solved the intermittent no operation of keyless.

babyhuey. Thanks for the input but the car is a hatchback and the parcel shelf is removable and without any wires. Have already made checks on the fob battery and switches and feel sure this is transmitting OK. Before I start removing trim panels I would like to have a target area within the car.

Any further thoughts welcome from the forum

As a PS to my last message above. Any one with access to a 2002 RHD 626 wiring diagram? A LHD would be better than none.

Ahhh. RH drive and a hatchback. Did not even know Mazda produced a 626 hatchback. At least they did not send any to us here in the States.
