Keyless entry

So the range of my keyless entry has never been great but as my luck would hold I installed a new radio and my range basically disappeared. I figured after tugging new wires and RCA through the dash maybe I unplugged something. The entry still works but only if I am basically touching the truck. So i checked and found the module under the dash and made sure the antenna was still plugged in. When I unplugged it from the module to check the connector the antenna plug and about a foot of wire fell out in the floorboard. On the end of it is a plug that fits in the module and the other end has about a half inch of bare copper wire. So my question is where does the bare end go?

Don’t have an answer, but since you found the module, maybe google the part number and some site might show all of the components and a diagram that might give you the information

try wrapping the wire around the radio antenna wire and see if that helps.

Can always do an aftermarket kit. Mine was about $35 shipped and installed. I am sure someone would buy that stocker kit if you tried to flip it.

I LOVE it. For sure one of the best mods to the dually aside from efuel and reman trans.

In any event, post pics so we know what wire please.
