Keyless entry add??


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have searched and found some info on here. I just wanted to know if there was anymore input out there. I have a 2006 WT with P/W and P/L. I have a passenger window switch from a 2005 that had keyless entry. I have read that if I install this in my truck I should be able to have keyless?? I did the keyless test on the truck and the door locks cycle and the horn honks now. Do I still need to install the 2005 switch?? Any help would be great. This is the only option I'm missing that the truck didn't have. Had to go 145 miles to pick it up. Other than that I love my new truck. Thanks (Special Equipment Option)

If you have power locks factory on your truck that should be all you need. Just buy the right key fob for your car, ground the keyless entry on the OBD2 connector (I believe) then your locks should cycle, press the lock button on your fob, remove the ground and your set.

Actually I guess the way I stated was for OBD1 and I guess it's different with OBD-2. Here's what you do for OBD-2 Camaro's, I'm assuming it's the same as your truck.

 

 

 

Programming procedure:

 

Turn ignition switch to OFF position.

Remove RADIO fuse 17 from fuse block.

Cycle ignition switch from OFF to RUN three times within five seconds until the door locks and the hatch release cycle, indicating the Body Control Module is in the Programming Mode.

Press and hold BOTH LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on remote control door lock transmitter for 16 seconds.

Door locks will cycle once, confirming the transmitter code is programmed. The door locks must cycle completely to unlock before proceeding.

Any transmitter code that was previously programmed has been erased.

Body Control Module is now programmed to remote control door lock transmitter.

When programming the Body Control Module to match remote control door lock transmitters, the first transmitter code matched will be stored in memory unless a second remote control door lock transmitter is matched at the same time. If programming the Body Control Module to match a second transmitter, repeat step 4. This must be done before the RADIO fuse 17 is reinstalled.

Ignition switch to OFF.

Reinstall RADIO fuse 17 to fuse block.

I've heard on the 98 it should have a seperate module in the passenger door to do the same as I did on my 06. Check with a dealer to see if there is a module in the door. Then if you get lucky like I did you can just plug it in and program your key fob. If you can find a truck in the salvage that may have this it could be fairly cheap. Hope this helps.

    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
    • “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
