KEYLESS ENTRY STOPPED WORKING

CARDER001 · February 8, 2014

My Keyless entry stopped working this morning on my 04 Silverado. I used both key fobs and put new batteries in each (same result).

I replaced my front headlights last night and all the bulbs, could that have something to do with it??? I tried re-programming the fobs, no luck there either. All the power locks work properly, and everything else seems to be working, no warning lights....

Did you try cleaning the contacts in the key fobs?

Tried that too. I was going through the previous owners paperwork, and noticed they had installed an aftermarket Auto Start kit that uses the factory key fobs. I bet that's the culprit. Now if I can just figure out where it is and what it's tied into.......I'm not much of an electrician. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Normally for aftermarket they put a key in the steering column area, at least that's where mine have been put in years past.

Try pulling the breakers for the lock and unlock, they are in the panel on the side of the dash, leave em out for a few hours. That worked for me but I don't have remote start, cant hurt to try it,

BCM (Body control module) programming required - so visit dealer or someone who has T2 programmer

OK. Finally got some time to look at this again. I unplugged the battery, let is set for 30 minutes, plugged it back in and tried to start it. Now it will not start!! I tried to start it 3 times. Let it set for 30 minutes, tried to start again. same thing. it sounds like it's about to start, but doesn't. WTF!! It was running fine, until I unplugged the battery.....

Get it to a stereo shop someone hack installed the auto start... I was going to suggest just having aftermarket keyless put in because the whole setup would probably cost less than the dealer diag but if it's got one already I'm betting they didn't do the bypass properly is there a hood switch or valet switch somewhere?

I actually just purchased the truck a few months ago... Everything was working, then it quit. I just want the keyless entry to work again. I could care less about the auto start. I'm hoping I can just tear out all the aftermarket stuff (auto start) and put it back the way it was, and everything will work the way it originally did. I just don't know where to begin???
