Sounds like someone replaced the ignition. The vibe uses one key for all locks and if you replace just one the key wont work. you might see if the dealer can get a factory replacement from the factory key code. you will need to get a new key with the factory code as well but this should solve the problem.

You can purchase new Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters from the dealer or you can order them online at the web sites listed below or several others. Your vehicle provides for programming the RKE transmitters without the use of a scan tool. Follow the instructions below.

2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

WITHOUT A SCAN TOOL

1. Close all vehicle doors. Remove key from ignition lock cylinder

NOTE: STEPS 2 AND 3 MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 25 SECONDS OF PRESSING THE DOOR UNLOCK SWITCH
2. Press and hold door UNLOCK switch. While holding UNLOCK switch, insert and remove the key in the ignition lock cylinder twice. Do not rotate the lock cylinder.
3. Insert the key a third time, leaving the key in the lock cylinder. Keep the lock cylinder in the LOCK position for the remainder of the procedure. Release the door UNLOCK switch. The chime will sound 3 times to signal that the programming/diagnostic mode is active.
4. Press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK at the same time on the RKE transmitter for approximately 4 seconds. The chime will sound 2 times signaling that the transmitter has been programmed.
5. Repeat step 4 for each transmitter being programmed. (You can program up to 4 transmitters.)

6. To exit program mode, turn the key to the RUN position then back to the LOCK position and remove the key. Your transmitters should now work to lock and unlock your doors.

Replaced batteries in both keyless remotes and checked all fuses labeled as keyless entry. all good. still inop

if you put the keys in door does it open fully and can you start the car with the key(without the key symbol showing)if you can, simply reseting the alarm/immobiliser should reset the remotes.

Honda Element doors auto lock when keys in ignition.how to stop?

Actually, some other Honda models have a similar function, actuated by a combination of drive gear and road speed, but no Honda Element was ever factory equipped to automatically lock the doors when running. Its's a feature provided by some aftermarket keyless entry and/or security systems.
The Honda Elements' normal operation re-locks the doors if they are remotely unlocked, but a door isn't physically opened within 15-30 seconds. This is only supposed to happen when the keyless remote receiver signals the multiplex control unit to open the drivers door.

Open the drivers' window, take the battery out of the remote control fob, and see if the problem persists. If so, unplug the connector of keyless receiver module., and test again. If there's not a good electrical connection on all 4 pins of the KRU, or if the KRU is bad, that could cause your problem. Alsocheck G501. .

Alarm goes off when key open the door

Dealer is correct that you have too replace the bcm, so i would tell you to call junk yard and get one. Cheap $ 50.00 put it in by yourself. Right hand side of the glove compartment. behind the fuse box with couple connectors on it, or have some person with knowledge to do it.
