My indie is ordering a locking computer next week, and after installing it I will bring it to the dealer to reprogram to my key. He's pretty sure its my locking computer that is faulty, so I'll post up if it works.

Mine's a 96 also.
Thanks spinedoc for the information. However, our symptoms are different. Your IR Remote causes the red/green lights to flash, indicating the vehicle has received the IR signal - it may not be processing the signal, but your car is receiving it. In my case, the red/green lights do not flash, implying my car is not receiving a signal.

My problem *could* be a bad remote transmitter. But I would like to troubleshoot the problem a bit before making the investment in another key remote.
