I went out this morning to start to diagnose the problem of not having my keyless entry system work and felt like maybe it was the actual LED bulbs alone. My thought process was that I could "lock" the car fine but as soon as I unlocked it(when all the dome and step lights come on), it froze the whole keyless entry system up for ~1min(which now I understand the limit because that is when the lights turn themselves off)!

So I turned the switch that controls the map lights if the door is/ISN'T open to the off position and, sure enough, my keyless entry came back to life!!! Now the only problem is that my nice new LED map lights have to stay off if I want the keyless entry to work!! Anyone have any solutions/ideas to this!?

The exact bulb that is in the map lights is this one:

ALSO, I switched out the map light bulbs with the step light bulbs to see if it was solely because of the bulbs and the problem still exists but in another form. Now, the keyless entry will only not work if the doors are OPEN (that's the only time the step light turns on). Any help or insight would be GREATLY appreciated!

 

For any who are interested, I found out what the problem was after months of research LOL!
