Here is the new place to discuss the Isuzu Trooper. Below are links to previous Isuzu Trooper forums: - Isuzu Trooper, Part IV - Isuzu Trooper, Part III - Isuzu Trooper, Part II - Isuzu Trooper, Part I Happy Motoring.  Pocahontas, Edmunds.com/Roving Host |

| does cold weather affect the remote entry? I was able to activate the door locks from about 25 - 20 feet away, but since our cold weather spell I have to be right next to the car for it to work. Same deal with my husband's remote entry which is why I don't think it is a battery replacement problem. | |
| I do not know if there is any weather affect on the remote entry. However, since you and I are in the same region and have the same vehicle our experiences SHOULD be similiar. I have not noticed any differences the past few days...although I am usually only 10-15ft away (within eyesight of the door lock) when I try to unlock. | |
| I have had the same problem on occasionally? Once I couldn't get it to work and I had to use the key. After a drive it was fine? I have also seen a problem where the front end was in a snow drift. I think the remote entry is sonic rather than infra-red. I think the sensor is under the front and oriented facing forward. This isn't much help, but I have had intermittent, rather infrequent problems too. | |
| I took the initiative and looked under my 99 Trooper today and looked at the fuel line near the transfer case. I think it is above a skid plate, it looks like a metal pipe which has a rubber hose fastened to it running towards the rear. It looks protected from rocks and other road hazards, but it definitely looks vulnerable to rupture if the 4wd system twists and presses against it. Furthermore, Isuzu telling me that the 99 and 00 models have different 4wd systems is like saying the 99 SLX and Trooper are different! | |

I read the VIN number report on Edmunds a month or two ago and it didn't line up to mine? Was their report bad? I don't know, but here is a link that goes digit by digit through it and it seems pretty accurate. http://www.itog.com/vin.html |

is accurate, at least for my 2000 Trooper. -mike |

Does anybody (ie: Mike) know for sure where the receiver is for the remote entry? I also have a hunch it is in the front somewhere, as I've noticed occasional problems "hitting it" when approaching from the back. I do have a limited with the tinted back, which might affect it if the receiver is inside. The range I have is small compared to my wife's Maxima. I can hit her car from 50 feet - no joke. Thanks- Andy

I heard that the reciever for the the keyless entry is located under or  the drivers kick panel. Personally I've never had a problem getting it to open, I have had problems distance but once I get withing 10 feet there is no problem. I've found i can reach 100ft or more by placing the transmitter up to my chin and using myself as an antenna  -mike |

I'll post the link tonight. I have it bookmarked home. GM could have changed the transmission, causing the change in fuel lines. Just trying to justify their not being able to help you out. At this point, i'm inclined to believe them, because it would be cheaper for them to just do it if they could than to keep fighting you. Don't worry, if your truck catches fire, we'll collectively pursue a class action law suit! -mike |
