Delete old key/fob from memory

Just purchased a 2016 Sierra 2500HD SLT with memory seats.

 

It only had one key and remote so the dealer called in a lock company to cut a new key and remote.

 

The problem with that is that the memory seats are still programmed to the missing fob. The new one is recognized as #3 and so is not linked to either of the memory buttons.

 

Is there any way to delete the missing fob from the vehicle's memory and replace it with the new one?

 

TIA

AFAIK, you need the dealer to program transmitters. Sounds like whoever got assigned the job didn't know/understand they were supposed to make the new one FOB2

 

Operators manual has procedure for teaching keys but says to see dealer for fobs.

I just spoke to the lock guy and he said to bring it over and they can 'erase' the current keys/remotes and reprogram for the 2 we have so they register correctly.

 

Plan to go there on Monday.

Went to the lock place on Saturday. Took about 15 minutes.

 

Unfortunately, I didn't check it before I left :shakehead: Still the same.

 

Took it back again today. It seems right now but it took them over an hour to figure it out. :fingersx:

Same problem here. The two new keys are now registered as drivers 3 and 4. How do I change it so they are driver 1 and 2 so my memory seats work?? There’s info in the owners manual on how to add keys but nothing about how to delete.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
