My bezel is locked and when I push the 2 buttons in together it goes blank and won't unlock? What can I do?

Year make and model. First you need to remove and repair what you have installed. Two problems with GM on security are the chip in the lock set goes bad and the small plug that goes to this chip. The wires tend to break right at the plug. You will have to get access to the lock set. In the column, remove the bezel around it. In the dash, remove the radio bezel and radio. Sometimes you can get the lockset out here, sometimes it has to come out at the bottom. Once you have it accessible. Insert the key, turn to run. There is a square hole that you have to push a pin down and remove the lock cylinder. Then there is a plug you have to move and check the wires for continuity. Small plug, 3 wires, yellow, black, and white. If they are good, replace the lock cylinder, this is what holds the black chip. This usually works for passlock 2 and 3. Rarely does the chip or receiver for passlock 3 go bad. Look at you key. If you passlock 3, it will have P3 stamped on it.

It normally DOES NOT Unlock with the Door Unlock. Depending on the Year/Make/Model. Some have a Separate Button, Some you have to Push 2 QUICK Unlocks for it to work, then there is one I ran into that you had to push it 3 times (I though that was odd).

One Quick Push = Drivers Doot
Two Quick Pushes = All Doors
Three Quick Pushes = Trunk

The only way is to take it appart and realign the pieces. There isn't a whole lot to them but they have a bezel that is rubbery that pops in and out when the button above it is pushed. This contacts the board under it and sends the signal for the button you pushed. It seems as if the rubbery bezel part under the button is not popping back out so it won't allow you to register a button push. It's not too hard, just take your time, don't force anything, and be patient as these things fit together very tightly and can be broken if forced.

thier really is no other option.. thier are plastic clips that hold the linkage together.. it's common for those to break.. so the panel has to come off.

Your door lock actuator have issues

Replace the Ram with known good sticks. This can cause a startup failure. Hope this helps.

taking apart was easy
youtube it..

is that the driverside only? most like ly a loos connecter attaching the door wire harness to the power conrtol bezel. Pop it off and check the connection

Sounds like you need to lock the bezel, because it is always active and will change even with accidental brushing against body or clothes. Choose the screen yuo want to display and press the two buttons on the side at the same time and your bezel should lock. A brief message will appear onscreen. Do the same to unlock. With the bezel locked you can start and stop the session timer as usual using the start/stop button at top right.

try holding ice type and child lock together for 3 seconds that worked on mine
