Good news, glad it worked for someone. Maybe it will help someone else in the in the future.

That would do the same thing. But it will also reset every module in the truck plus the ECM. I would just pull the fuse. I would just deal with the Keyless Entry for now. Disconnecting the battery usually doesn't cause any problems. BUT there have been times that it does. I have seen it lock up the theft module. And then you would have to deal with that.

See if you can find the fuse that says DSM (Drivers seat Module, Remote Keyless Entry System). Should be in the fuse box under IP. If not look in your Owners Manual. Remove the fuse for about 20 minutes. Then re-install and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply. By the way how is Santa doing? I thought maybe you might have some other means and was curious as to what it might be. I have had dealers cut keys. Also lock smiths. Had lock smiths come and cut keys. Have taken lock cylinder out of doors and had keys cut from the cylinder. So that was the reason I was curious. You need all the options you can get. Maybe some day you might be 500 miles from home and loose your key on a Saturday and no GM dealers are open till Monday. What do you do? All and any information is valuable. You never know when you are going to need it.

I am aware that the dealer can with proof of ownership. He didn't mention anything in his post about having the dealer cut a key. Reading his post he didn't seem very excited about having the dealer do anything for him. There is more than one method of having a key cut. I was just interested in what he did. It might be of value to someone else in the future.

Tell us how you went about getting a new key cut.

A couple of things. Make sure if you replace it yourself be sure to use an AC Delco part. Some of the aftermarket resistors won't even last a day or two. Also check and make sure the AC drain hose isn't plugged. If it is plugged moisture backs up in the blower housing and cause corrosion on the wire terminals. KMGZ400, Did the dealer say why it wasn't covered under warranty? Was it because the VIN# didn't fall within the recall? I am assuming you are talking about your 03 Silverado. Below is a G.M Service Bulletin, Regarding the Problems with the Blower Motor Resistor, G.M. SERVICE BULLETIN Special Coverage Adjustment Bulletin No.: 11046 Date: April 07, 2011 Subject: 11046.......SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT........Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Blower Not Fully Functional on All Blower Speeds, Inoperative, or Runs Continuously with the IGNITION OFF. Models: 2003-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe 2003"-2007" Chevrolet Silverado 2003-2006 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL 2003-2007 GMC Sierra Equipped with Manual HVAC (CJ3) or Heavy Duty Heater (C42) Due to part availability, owner letters will be released in phases starting with older model year first. Owners for model year vehicles not included in first phase owner mailing will receive an owner advisory letter. The letter will inform the customer that parts are not yet available and that another letter will be sent to them when parts become available. A copy of this letter will be attached to the dealer message announcing this bulletin.

In addition, moisture and other contaminants may enter the fresh air intake plenum and contact the internal circuit of the module or corrode the terminals. Either of the above may cause the relay resistor module or wiring connector to overheat, resulting in one or more of the following symptoms: - The HVAC blower may not function on certain or all blower speed settings - A burning plastic smell or smoke may be present in the vehicle - The HVAC blower may run continually with the ignition in the OFF position IN VERY RARE events, if the above Symptoms are Ignored......A FIRE Could Occur. ..........SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT.......This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of .....10 YEARS or 150,000 MILES(240,000km).....whichever occurs first, from the Date the Vehicle was Originally Placed into Service.......Regardless of Ownership.

Did you replace the ignition switch or the ignition lock cylinder? If it was the ignition lock cylinder You might want to try the following relearn sequence. I found this on another site. So I don't know if it will work for you not. But it is worth a try. 1.Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 2.Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON, vehicle will not start. 3.Observe the SECURITY telltale. After approximately 10 minutes, the telltale will turn OFF. 4.Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes. The vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. Important: The vehicle learns the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle. Start the engine. The vehicle has now learned the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed. History DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles.

Maybe he doesn't know what a Differential is.
