1) I know this sounds crazy, but try disconnecting the vehicle battery (both terminals) for at least 10 minutes, then reconnect them and try the remote again.
4) Reprogram the remote using these procedures: 1. Close all vehicle doors. 2. Insert the key into the ignition.

down until instructed to release in step 9.
4. Perform steps 5 through 8 in fairly rapid succession.

engine).
6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
9. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The vehicle will lock and unlock

Just did this procedure I got from coloradofans.com forums:
"any type of power/voltage change
seems to trigger this issue
The most common symptom is power
locks fail and only the driver window quits, however that is on the
extended cab.
Steps to fix and it works every time.
take
door panel off driver's door Disconnect the wiring attached to window
and power lock control unit disconnect battery cables connect
the negative to the positive cable(((NO BATTERY CONNECTED))) This
will act to short residual voltage in the system
5 minutes later place
the key in the ignition and turn to the run position connect the
wiring to the window/lock controller connect the negative cable to
the battery then the positive open drivers side door turn key
to the off position((do not remove yet)) you should get a series of
dings through speakers telling you the key is still in the ignition once
it begins dinging pull the key out and you should hear the door lock
solenoids trigger and the windows should work." - Coloradofans.com forums
