Keyless Entry not working?

Any knowen issues with the SD keyless entry? Mine will only work every now and then. It it usually a truck prob. or a fey fob problem? I tried a new battery, but it did not help. Thanks

I have been experiencing the same problems. I have yet to go to the dealer to resolve the issue. However, my warranty is getting ready to run out and I will be taking it in to have the problem fixed. I will let you know what I am told.

One of my keyfolbs don't work. I found this out when I took the truck to the dealer for service. They said they have to program it with the computer. They didn't have the time so I will bring it in latter.

I assume you are talking the fobs and not the punch buttons on the door? If only one fob is not working then I would say Fob, maybe Fob battery. If both are not working then I would say the truck.

My wife had one go out on our suburban. On day the fob just stopped working. Took it to the dealer and they said the whole fob circutry fried itself somehow. They replaced it with the explination that they are cheaply made and sometimes just go bad. So maybe the fob is just gone bad.

You should be able to program this yourself. Do a search here and there are a few threads on how to do it, or look in the owners manual it should be int there too.

It is something like get in the vehicle and close all doors, put key in ignition and turn on & off 8 times leaving it in the on position, the locks should cycle, then you press the key on any fobs you want to work with the vehicle. This is not necessarily the correct instructions but it is close.
Hope you get it working.
