My fobs need to be reprogrammed

sadly I must tell you this forum is answered by mostly old DIYER"s and do not know every trick about every problem that the world has , so suggest only you see a dealer locally of your Make of vehicle. it could be as simple as the bcm needs reprogrammed .which only dealers can do

The fob should not need reprogramming. Changing the battery in it will not affect how the fob works. Even changing the vehicle battery won't have any effect on it. Fobs are Not normally reprogrammable, they usually need replacing instead.

just reprogram the 98 fobs to the 97 easier instead of ripping out the electrical system can reprogram lock /unlock if have auto start will need dealer to flash the fob

Most likely the Lock switch on the fob circuit board has broken away from the board. With a fine point soldering iron it can be fixed.

If the switches are OK, you may need to reprogram the fobs (one at a time...). Look at the instructions in the Owners Manual.

get two new fob e-bay is cheap or dealer cycle key from off to run NOT CRANK JUST TILL LIGHT COME ON . do that 8 times you door lock will lock then unlock this is key fob reprograming mode press unlock on fob door lock will cycle up and down then press unlock on other fob door lock will cycle again now start truck and shut off. test each fob.

when you reprogram the new fobs the other ones will not work

hope that helps

Have you replaced the battery in fobs If ok you need to take to dealer to have them reprogramed

Hi, the key fob has contacts on a circuit board, much like a remote control for a tv, or a calculator. These contacts are what the buttons touch, to make it work. the buttons, or contacts may be dirty, with a carbon film on them causing the two buttons not to work, leaving only 1 functional. If you take it apart, much like putting a new battery in, you can actually pop out the green circuit board, and see the contacts. These can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Try cleaning the contacts, and the back side of the buttons. A re program is not in order, because you have 1 function, and will either work as a whole, or none at all. If cleaning does not work, You may need a new fob. Good luck...coop442000

dealer needs to reprogram your key fobs

Key fobs tend to hold their code indefintely. The batteries in them are probably burnt. Open up one of the fobs and replace the battery (hearing aid type) then they should work fine. Good Luck!~
