My Winnie did that. The solution in my case.
Take a screwdriver and take the insulator with the 2 spring loaded connectors off the the door frame. Mine had NO wires connected to the back side. Looking into the door frame, I saw, WONDER OF WONDERS, 2 wires with connectors that would JUST FIT the back of my, now removed, device. I plugged them into the back and re-attached it to the door frame, and VOILA, it worked.
I don't know if polarity matters, I had a 50/50 chance of getting the polarity right, and hit it the first time.
Now, I wish my chassis had a receiver. Mine did not come with key fobs. I had read on here that you can buy them and program them to work. I bought 2. Only after trying, unsuccessfully, to program them, I learned that not all chassis came with a receiver. My electric locks (including the house door, now) work with the switches on the cab doors, but no joy on key fobs. It isn't worth it to me to buy an aftermarket receiver and install it.
