Key fobs tend to hold their code indefintely. The batteries in them are probably burnt. Open up one of the fobs and replace the battery (hearing aid type) then they should work fine. Good Luck!~

    Ok here is the procedure.

    Program only one at a time.

    Remove ignition key.

    Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse from fuse panel. Refer to fuse block in wiring systems.

    Close all the doors.

    Close the liftgate.

    Turn the ignition lock cylinder to ACC

    Turn the cylinder to off then back to ACC within 1 second.

    Open and close any vehicle door. A chime will be heard when the system enters the BCM programming mode.



    Important

    After 7 seconds, a second chime may be heard confirming successful synchronization. It may be necessary to wait approx. 14 seconds dor a second chime that will confirm successful programming.



    Press and hold the transmitter Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously for 14 seconds.

    Repeat the previous step on each additional transmitter to be programmed.

    Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.

    Install the BCM PRGRM fuse back intothe fuse panel. Refer to fuse block in wiring systems.

06 Montana SV6 already has 4 remotes program to it. can this be cleared or do you have to replace B.C.M.

So what it has 4 key fobs programmed , what is it you want to do ? Why would you want to clear them ? Lost them ?, don't work ? No you wouldn't need to replace the body control module . When programming new fobs , all the one's need to be programmed at same time . All old ones will be erased automatically .

Pontiac Montana SV6

For instructions on how to program remotes and keys check website below, I use these and they are usually very accurate. This website does state that on your vehicle, special equipment is needed to program a key fob, as there is no onboard programming for it. However, there are programming instructions for transponder keys.

Where is the bcm program fuse on a 2005 pontiac montana sv6

The BCM program fuse on a 2005 Montanna SV6 is called something different in the manual. It's called a “Keyless Entry Module” fuse and it is fuse #7. The fuse panel is located on the passenger side on the side of the dash. There is a cover with an indent hole in it to pull the fuse cover off. It's really hard to pull it off and it almost seems like your going to break it when your trying to get if off. Keep pulling, it will come off! On the fuse cover, fuse #7 is labeled " RFA MDLS" which is again different than what is in the manual. I followed the procedure to reprogram my "Key Fob" and within 45secs, I had reprogrammed my key FOB! I was so excited, because, I have been trying locate the BCM fuse for 4 weeks. I think GMC does not want us to know it’s location or name, so you would have to go into a dealership to get your Key Fobs reprogrammed costing about a $100 for a minute of work.

2005 Pontiac SV6 Montana key fob unlocks doors but will not lock

For the sliding doors you need to clean the contacts, there are 6 or 8 on both sides, just wipe them clean as they are probably covered in oil/grease/grime.
