Keyless Entry Suddenly Quit Working.

I have a 2007 Ranger XLT 4WD and first, the door locks quit working using the remote and now the PATS is intermittently preventing me from starting the truck. I replaced the batteries in both remotes, checked the fuse and I'm using an original Ford key. The locks work fine using the switches on the doors. I tried looking for the module which is suppossed to be in the passenger kick panel but can't find it. I just bought a wiring diagram manual so hopefully I can trace out the wires. Any help is really appreciated!!!

Use, borrow, or come by the inexpensive ELM scan-tool & run freeware FORScan on the viewing device of choice as discussed here Low Cost ELM Scantool - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums, as this combo can query all the vehicle computer / cpntrollers for trouble code clues that can help focus a trouble shoot. Post all code Numbers.

I'm doing that today actually! I own an OBDLink EX and I have Forscan with an extended license. I just got the wiring manual in so I'm going to tackle it today. From what I see in the manual, there is a low voltage board in the SJB/BCM that sends out a pulse to either lock or unlock the doors. If that's bad, I will need to replace the whole module. I can get a used one off eBay but I will have to reprogram it to my truck. I'm hoping it's just a bad connection or loose wire!

How is the Keyless Entry trouble-shoot going, 214 curious minds would like to know. Was FORScan able to find any helpful trouble code clues ?
