    My old fob wasn't working so I bought new fobs. Still cant get the new ones to work and now i lost my old fob. My truck does everything like it's suppose when programming ( the locks cycle after holding unlock and turning switch to on/off twice and letting go of unlock button) but the last lock/unlock that let's you know the fob is programmed never happens. What am I missing? What . Can I do to fix this.

    HYJACKING OLD 2011 POSTS
    THE CAR STARTS AND DRIVE OK DAY /NIGHT
    NO PROBLEM (A GOAL #1 ON ALL CARS)
    KEYWORKS, STARTS AND RUNS
    ONLY

    THE CARS BATTERY IS FIRST NOT FOB COIN./
    THE CARS BATTERY NEED TO BE GOOD
    AND FULLY CHARGED, AND VOLTAGE OVER 12.6VDC. RESTED IS JUST THAT.
    THEN ALL ELECTRONICS NO THE CAR CAN WORK

    WHAT MEANS
    keyless entry???
    FOB DEAD STANDING OUTSIDE CAR.
    DOORS LOCKED.?
    EVER SCAN THE OBD2 PORT WHEN BUTTONS ON ANY FOB FAIL
    NOW THAT WOULD BE MAGIC.
    MOST FOBS 22 YEARS DO NOT WORK
    NEVER SEEN ONE WORK THAT OLD ME.
    BUTTONS LOVE TO FAIL ON ALL OF THEM.
    OR WORSE STICK CLOSED
    THEN ALL OTHER FOBS EVEN NEW AND GOOD FAIL
    SO KEEP THE OLD FOBS AWAY FROM THE CAR
    AND TEST THE NEWER ONES ONLY 1 NEAR THE CAR AT A TIME./
    A FOB WITH A STUCK BUTTON IS NOW A FOB JAMMING DEVICE, NEVER FUN THIS.
    i HAVE ONE HERE NOW, YEARS OLD
    AND BUTTON STUCK AND ALL WHEN SOUTH
    TO SOLVE THIS THE BAD FOBS WITH BAD BUTTONS I PULLED ITS COIN CELL FOR EVER.
    THERE ARE TOOLS THAT CAN TEST FOBS
    FOR STUCK ON. SOLD.
    ON MY CAR THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF KEYS
    THE METAL KEY ,ONLY WORKS ON DOORS ONLY
    THE METAL KEY +PASSIVE ELECT STARTS CAR BUT NO BUTTONS.
    AND A BUTTON ONLY FOB, DOES IT ALL.

    BEST IS HAVE 1 OF EACH.
    SOME AUTO STORES HAVE A TESTER
    THAT WILL SHOW FAST 2 THINGS
    FOB NOT DEAD (RF DEVICE) MOST ARE PASSIVE . TO THE TESTER BROAD CASTS AND KEY TRANS-PONDS.
    OR FOB BUTTONS ARE STUCK ON.
    IT WILL NOT TELL YOU THE KEY RF ID CODE
    IS GOOD NOR MATCHES CARS KEY CODE TO START THE ENGINE.

    ONE MORE HINT THE USERS GUIDE
    TELLS YOU NO OTHER KEYS FROM OTHER CARS NEAR THIS CAR UNDER TEST.
    NOR INSIDE THE CAR. JUST 1 KEY AT A TIME.
    NEAR.
    KEEP OTHER KEYS 25FT AWAY OR COIL CELL PULLED AND FOR SURE PULL COIN IF ONE FOB IS KNOWN BAD OR BUTTON SWITCHES INSIDE BAD.(STUCK OR CRACKED.)

    What vehicle? same as above? 2002 suburban ?

    An you did it like it says here

    Transmitter Programming Procedure (Method 1 - No Tools Required)
    Close all the vehicle doors.
    Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.
    Press and hold the door unlock switch.
    While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
    Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm the program mode.
    Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of approximately 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock to confirm the programming of that transmitter.
    Repeat the previous step to program up to four transmitters.
    Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry transmitter mode.
    Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

I have a few ideas for you:

1) I know this sounds crazy, but try disconnecting the vehicle battery (both terminals) for at least 10 minutes, then reconnect them and try the remote again.

2) Replace the batteries in the key fob.

3) Take the circuit board out, wipe it down, and try again. Here is a video showing this process: How To Clean Your Key Fob Circuit Board

4) Reprogram the remote using these procedures:
1. Close all vehicle doors. 2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Hold down the power UNLOCK button on the driver?s door panel-continue to hold
down until instructed to release in step 9.
4. Perform steps 5 through 8 in fairly rapid succession.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the
engine).
6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
9. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The vehicle will lock and unlock
the doors automatically.
10. Hold down the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously until
the door locks and unlocks.
This step may take up to 30 seconds.
11. Repeat step 10 NOW for each additional transmitter (including any existing
transmitters).
12. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position in order to exit the transmitter programming
mode.
5) Order a new remote from us online at https://www.keylessentryremotefob.com/Chevrolet-Suburban-Remotes-and-Keys-s/3679.htm

SOURCE: How do i program remote keyless entry?

You don't normally program a keyless entry, that's done for you by the technicians that install that. If the replaced battery doesn't solve the problem, take the battery and the remote to the techies that installed it.

I replaced batteries in keyless remotes for 2002 chevrolet monte carlo ss. how do I resynchronize the keyless remotes?

Hello: To resynchronize the keyless entry close all doors, key out of ignition. Hold lock and unlock buttons till the doors (all) lock then unlock. If the transmitter still doesn't work you have other problems. Go to auto zone they can check your transmitter to see if it is working.

Keyless entry wont work 2002 chevy s10

The only way to program them is with a scan tool so you'll need to visit your local dealer to have it done. Here is how it is done.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Use the scan tool in order to access programming: Vehicle Control System/Computer Integrating System/Module Setup/BCM/Program Key Fobs.
  3. Press the START soft key on the scan tool. Important: The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.
  4. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of 5-10 seconds, the scan tool will indicate that the transmitter is programmed.
  5. Repeat the previous step in order to program up to 4 transmitters.
  6. Remove the scan tool.
  7. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

VW Jetta keyless entry remote not working

newer remotes just pull apart, no screws

first detached the half with the pivoting key
just pull that half away from the other half

on the half without the key attach
it splits apart to expose the battery (usually a 2032 watch battery)
you may need a small flat head screw driver to help to split it apart

Keyless entry stopped working on 05 cobalt now i have to unlock door with the key and when i do that the alarm goes off. Help

Lock all the doors from the inside (with all the doors closed), unlock your driver's door by manually lifting the lock, then press it back down after you are out - this will prevent the alarm from sounding when you use the key to unlock the door.
