Quick question

I replaced my gpr on Friday night and my remote to lock the doors worked just fine. Saturday morning they unlocked just fine as well drove it thirty minutes and went to lock my doors with the remote and it didn't work. So could this just be crazy timing for it to stop working or could it be related?

I have a 2000 f250 4x4 I've tested with all three remotes I have for it and none of them work where would I start to test and see if it is just bad connections or dirty ones? Thanks in advance

Try and reset the key fob system,

Roll down a window just to be on the safe side.

Turn ignition from off to on eight times with the 8th time ending in the on position within 10 seconds. (do not start) then you will here the door locks lock and unlock to confirm it is in program mode.

within 20 seconds press any button on the key fob and the doors will lock/unlock to confirm that the fob has been programmed. If not done within 20 seconds the system will exit and you will have to start over.

Coincidence, GPR has nothing to due with the door lock system.

Did you disconnect your batteries when changing the GPR? As said try re-programming.

So today it worked off and on so I think it is a connection problem where would I look to start diagnosing this issue.
