No kidding. It looks like a Star Wars sequel in here at times.

I doubt pulling the battery leads off for a while will cause any harm.
The Remote Key Entry on the 2005 CRD should be a module plugged on the back of the BCM which is on the rear-side of the interior fuse panel ie. Junction Block. This is a module about the size of a cigarette pack.
Thanks for that - I'll chase it down in the next day or two, time permitting. Right now the problem appears to be intermittent and unaffected by replacing the batteries in either remote, as well as not being range-dependent (i.e., sometimes it works standing right next to the vehicle, sometimes it works from 30 yards away, and sometimes it doesn't work at all), which leads me to believe that some contact cleaner might not also be a bad idea.

Re-plug it as it may have a bad connection.
Check all the fuses on the fuse panel.
There is Driver Door Relay on the rear side of the Junction Block...they may use that for RKE while making use of the door lock to unlock the Driver door via the door switch.
Fuses already checked out, so things are good on that score. Hadn't torn into the wiring diagrams yet, largely because I'm kinda busy with other stuff right now, but good to know about the relay. Will check into that.

Otherwise you have to go through the wiring diagrams but as you say...not much information on how this works! I have never worked in this area before myself.
I've fitted aftermarketand OEM RKE units to a handful of cars in the past, but I've never had to deal with one that was showing this kind of behaviour. Slightly frustrating that I seem to be the guinea pig
