Re: keyfob keyless lock/unlock not working Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:33:50 In Reply to: keyfob keyless lock/unlock not working, jarrald, Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:13:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Only three things can cause the fob not to work:
1) antenna disconnected - unless you've had the center console apart, highly unlikely.
2) TWICE lost the code to the locks, and you have to re-program them. Know that you MUST have all keys and remotes present when programming. Any not present will not operate the car!
3) batteries failed in the fob/all-in-one key.
Seems the easiest one to check is the batteries in the fob.
Oh - one more thing. If you have had the main battery for the car disconnected, you may need to perform the "re-synch" procedure in the FAQ:
"16. I changed the battery in my remote, and now my car doors won't unlock!
What do I do?
Don’t panic, this is normal. When you replace the battery, you have to press the "UNLOCK" button four (4) times in succession (near the car, of course). This re-Âsynchronizes the remote with the car."
This is probably worth doing, just to check.
