The battery went dead in remote entry key fob for 1998 Jimmy. I waited several weeks to replace battery, now it won't work. Is there a limit to how long the security codes are stored or some other reasonable explanation before I buy a replacement?
Or call the 1-800 number in the instruction manual. There is a procedure to reset the fob to the unit, otherwise everyone could open everyone else's car. That's how you program a new remote when one is lost.
I haven't done an install in more than a year, plus don't know your brand, otherwise I could assist you. Even though it's against my better judgment on an open news group. You can buy remotes like candy now!
Refinish King
PS I just ordered a bunch of remotes that are universal for my lockout kit, let's see someone say you can't get my key's out, there's an alarm! LOL
Stand next to the truck, after replacing the battery. Hold the lock and unlock buttons on the fob. You should get some indication from the truck that the remote has been re-synchronized with the truck.
