My keyless remote for my 05 Chev uplander won't

Sounds like the contacts in the buttons are not making contact.. you may want to try taking the remote apart and cleaning the contacts and seeing what happens. If the remote is truely dead you may need a new remote

2000 Avalon keyless remotes stopped working: solution Both keyless remotes for my 2000 Avalon stopped working. The batteries were good (I checked them with a volt-ohm meter). The Toyota dealer determined that the remote used most was defective and it tried to initialize the receiver in the car. This caused the second remote also not to work. The dealer reset the receiver (reinitialized it after first unplugging it), replaced the defective remote with a new one, and reprogrammed both remotes. Total cost: $225 labor, 164 for new remote. Later, another remote went bad. I just stopped using it.

check for power at the locking solenoid\

Have you tired reprogramming the remotes top work the module first, that is what must be done before any parts are replaced, they do loose programming for no apparent reason at times. This can be causes by an electrical magnetic pulse of some sort.

Does the spare remote work? Have you tried to reprogram it? These remotes are very cheaply made and prone to key pad failure. To program the remote click this LINK, if that doesn't work buy anew one on eBay for cheap.

You may want to check the fuse...DIC/RKE located in the fuse panel.

Have you replaced the battery in the remote? Do you have another remote to try? If you haven't done so already that's where to start.

Replace the battery in the keyless entry. Pry the plastic apart and look at the battery...should look like a watch battery or simply take it to a dealer and they should replace for the cost of the battery.
If this doesn't work it will need to be reprogrammed. You manual should tell you how.

First, Congratulations on a '05 with just 63k miles. The '05 Pilot was the penultimate in Honda's fleet to date.
Try removing the battery and using a pencil eraser, scrub the contacts holding the battery in place.

Or is it the recieving sensor ???
