Keyless Entry DEAD.. where is that module?

I swapped the batteries on my key fobs and checked all the fuses. The electric locks work with switches... any ideas?
The key fob will not open/close does or enable the panic.

Try reprogramming the key fob to the truck. My module forgot my key fob once and I had to reprogram it. The instructions should be in the manual.

Does your truck have a keypad?

Nope my truck does not have a keypad.

I'll check the manual to reprogram the module, didn't know I could do that. I had the battery out of the truck for 9 months.

Ahh. That might have caused your problem. I don't know if the module holds the key fob codes in any kind of permanent memory or not.

I look into the reprogramming.... no battery for 9 months mean 9 months not driving it.... and the rust gobblins got into everything. I learned my lesson... never park it in the yard and leave it.
