Keyless entry quit working?
I recently ran down the battery on my SS when I left it parked for over a week with the radar detector on. When I trickle-charged the battery back up it started fine a few hours later, but now neither of the keyfobs function. :roll: What would cause this? Do I need to reprogram them or something? I never had this happen on any GM I owned before...:red: I did several searches on this subject, but am not coming up with anything.

Is the check engine light on?

No. Everything else works fine that I can tell. No dash indicator lights lit up... I used it all weekend and it is fine, but using the key in the door sucks!

OK, is found this post by C2Vette and I think this is the issue. If I have to pay the dealer to reprogram my BCM I am going to be POd! :mad:This should definitely not happen from just charging your battery.
https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...ghlight=keyfob The reason I think this is it when I read it, is that I no loger have the TPMS light illuminated and I should right now with my winter tires on there. I forgot about that till I read his post. Will call dealer in the a.m. I guess. |

The RKE's (both) have to be re-programmed using a Tech 2 plugged into the ALDL (assembly line data link connector) under the steering column. A dealer should not charge for this. It will take 2 minutes.

Nothing is free unless you do it yourself, have a friend who can do it, work in a dealership or shop that has a Tech II or you are under warranty. Dealerships are businesses and equipment costs money.
I am more upset that I have to do this at all... In IMO this should never happen from just running your battery down and charging it back up again. So am I understanding this right that the battery is in the back and that is the only way it can be jump started or recharged without causing this to happen? :roll: Why do they even have that positive terminal with the red plastic cover under the hood then? It just seems like an obvious charging connection in my opinion... |

Talked to my local dealer today and he said it could be done for a min. charge of $49.95! :eek: When I asked him how long it would take he said about 20 minutes. :mad: Think I'll try the dealer I bought it from despite they are a 40 minute drive away...
