Programming the remote keyless entry for the 2001 Chrysler Town and Country van is a procedure that can be done at home. Entering the Chrysler programming mode will cancel other programmed remotes, so you must reprogram them at the same time.
Considerations
To program the remote keyless entry for the 2001 Chrysler Town and Country, you must have a working unit. If not, a Chrysler dealer can program the remote for you. The reason for this is that a programmed remote is necessary to enter the remote programming mode.
Expert Insight
One potential snag that will prevent you from being able to program the remote is a dead battery. If you suspect the battery is dead, try to program it first, and then replace the battery if necessary. You can replace the battery by prying open the remote with a coin.
Programming the Remote
Press the "Lock" switch on the remote five times, allowing two seconds to pass between each press. Put the key in the ignition and turn it to "Run" without starting the vehicle. Wait until the warning beeps stop, then hold the "Unlock" switch on the remote for five seconds. Then hold "Panic" while holding "Unlock" for one second and release them. Push and release "Lock" and "Unlock" at the same time. The system now beeps, which means the remote has been resynchronized. Push and release "Lock" and "Unlock" on the remote to program it. Remove the key to finish.
