Never seen a Factory keyless entry on an older LD, does your LD have one?
Aftermarket keyless entry systems can be installed, either as a DIY project or done by a local radio and alarm shop.
I installed this in one of my Jeeps .

Hi Dianne; That would be an after market install. I came up with this kit. Viper 412V Keyless entry system at Crutchfield (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_607412V/Viper-412V.html)
Might be interesting. I opted to take the easy way out and just use keys. My cats lock and unlock the doors at will when I'm not there anyway.  RonB

Sure there are many other videos on the topic, and guessing you might need a different brand, but here's a YouTube video on doing an after market install (makes it look pretty easy):

I'd be happy to just take the 2003-vintage lock mechanism out of the door, clean and lube it thoroughly, and replace it, but it's likely that my messing with it would result in a big hole and/or a pile of leftover parts. It works fine; sometimes the "if it ain't broke..." advice is the best plan.  ;)
