2003-2006 Optima (MS) Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Memory Loss (Electrical - 011)
Description
Some owners of 2003-2006 Optima (MS) vehicles produced from 9/19/2003 - 8/31/2005 may complain of a loss of memory of remote keyless entry
(RKE) transmitters.
While customers typically are still able to lock an unlock the doors with the key and/or with the interior door lock switch, they are no longer able to
operate the door locks with their RKE transmitters. To reduce these incidences, Kia has redesigned the remote keyless entry receiver memory function
with part number 95790 3C101.
