remote door locks don't work
My door locks don't work with the remotes. I have changed the batteries and still nothing. Tried to reprogram and that didn't work. Is the keyless entry controller known to go bad? What should I troubleshoot?

there is no attempt for the doors to unlock with the remote and the light in the cab does not come on. the buttons inside do unlock and lock all the doors. I have programmed the remotes to a buddy's truck and they work fine.

The locks cycle fine. They lock and unlock when I go from drive to park and all that. When I reprogram the locks cycle like they should until I get the 10th one or so which is when it is in the program mode. I have no idea what the problem is.

This is for factory installed RKE with or without alarm. Dealer installed RKE is a different procedure.

Dave, the locks do just as you say they should, the 10 time thing was just a guess. They lock and unlock at the right point, but the remotes do not program. I have checked the remotes on a buddy's truck and they work fine on his. Could there possibly be a problem with the keyless control box which is located by the driverside kick panel? How do I tell if it is dealer or factory installed?

If they cycle as described, then that is the factory installed RKE. Do your remotes have the number 15K601 on the back? There will be other numbers as well, but they should have this number, most likely the first line.
