Also Where is the module located... I looked in the dome light where I thought it said it was... but nothing there.... Nor can I find any wires going to to it...? Only the wires for the lights...
Or am I mistaken and a 96 is when they built them into the passenger panel?
If I'm not mistaken, its in the door module and communication between front modules is handled over the CCD bus. Front to rear commands are are just handled from the selected front module. The short printed circuit that is the antenna on a wj is here,,,http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/keyless-entry-module-antenna-720059/
Thanks. I was reading that 96 is when they switched the ZJ from the IR to the RF with the RF module being moved into the passenger side door panel as part of the lock/window control. I do want to get my factory remotes programmed to work, however some of the prices I am being quoted by locksmith is outrageous that I will go aftermarket unit if I can not find a decent price to program these factory remotes.
That's totally nuts $95 per remote. It takes nothing to program another remote.
What do you guys think is fair for a door module with a pair of remotes programmed to it?
So quick update from my last post... i was able to locate a local guy at Duanes Automotive who could help me. He charged me 50.00 for both remotes. I was in amd out in about 10 min.
I now have returned factory keyless to my heep! 1 push unlocks driver door. 2 push unlocks all doors. Both with illuminated entry. Lock with horn cherp. And of course panic.
VERY HAPPY!
I had even called my local dealer again and they wanted 120.00 to do the programing.
I didnt think I would be this gitty over having keyless again!

Yeah I have four door modules and enough remotes to program a pair to each. So I should have them ready to go as soon a the weather gets warmer. This will allowing me to test the modules as well to make sure all is working.
I did mine with the DRB, took a minute done. The dealers just look at doing this as candy money. By changing the country code you can turn on fogs with high beams if that floats your boat.
Thats actually pretty neat. I would love that, you know our headlights suck lol. My one fog light (driverside is burned out) lights up more road than both my headlights.
But probably gonna order a projector retrofit for the jeep come tax time. Theyre like $25 on amazon.
Yeah thats what i know has to be used to do it. Only place around here that actually carries that is the dealerships.
They just have me worried that it wont work since the two fobs i have (matching) they just didnt come with my jeep originally. My jeep originally came with fobs and such. Just these two i bought off ebay from a guy in NC with a guarantee theyll work.
I guess im just gonna try and haggle them down, maybe get to talk to the actual tech in the shops.

I got mine from ebay. Factory Key Fobs, and they are working without a hitch so far! They are programmable, so as long as the fob isnt messed up, they can be programmed to anything that accepts them.

This ^^ Your 95 uses an IR type remote. 96+ uses the RF remotes. You are almost better off going after market than using the crap IR fobs... plus the IR fobs are $$$$$
Check this option out below, might work out better;
