Remote Key Fob replacement

[jdewolfe]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has tried the replacement key fobs from Amazon? See link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0068ODC1Q/ref=gno_cart_title_1

 

They claim that they come with directions on how to program them to your vehicle. I'm looking for some replacements as 1 of mine stopped working completely and the other works very poorly!

 

Thanks!

Jeff

it appears that you would be buying it from the Amazon Marketplace and not Amazon itself - there is a difference, you might as well buy one on eBay. As far as programming instructions, that is easily found online or in your owner's manual.

I can't see your year on my phone but 2011+ trucks are dealer only programming, there is no way to do it yourself.

I've got a 2006. I wonder if I should try and get into the programming mode and sync mine up again to see if they work better.

OK, dumb question I know - but you did try new batteries?

haha, a good question that needs to be asked sometimes. Yes, I have replaced them. Thanks for checking!

I bought one from ebay back when I had the 03 Tahoe. I just made sure it was an OEM and luckily they sent me a working one. Programming was easy (although I dont know off the top of my head) and like mentioned, it's somewhere in the manual.

Good to know. I'll probably give it a try. Thanks everyone!

Try this.

 

You must have all remotes including working ones when performing this

procedure.

 

 

1. Close all doors.

 

 

2. Insert key into the ignition.

 

 

3. Press and hold the power UNLOCK button on driver's side door panel. Do

not release until instructed to do so in step 5.

 

 

4. Quickly turn the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF. (ON is the position just shy

of starting your vehicle, OFF is the position where you can remove your key)

 

 

5. Release the power unlock button on the driver's side door panel. The

vehicle should respond by locking and unlocking automatically. If locks

cycle then continue to step 6.(if the door locks begin to lock and unlock

BEFORE releasing the unlock button then the vehicle has not entered

programming mode and you must start over. Remove key, open door and return

to step 1. If the vehicle continues to lock and unlock before releasing the

unlock button then there is a problem with the vehicles system and remotes

must be programmed by a certified professional. If you are unable to get the

door locks to cycle then you are turning the key too quick, too slow,

there's a problem with the vehicles system, or the vehicle is not equipped

with a factory keyless entry system.

 

 

6. Hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the remote at the same time until

door locks cycle again. This could take up to 30 seconds.

 

 

7. NOW repeat step 6. for all additional remotes including working ones.

 

 

8. After step 6. has been performed for all remotes TURN ignition to ON to

exit programming mode.

 

 

9. Turn ignition to OFF, remove key and test all remotes.
