SOURCE: programing instructions for buick 2006 lacrossekeyless remote fob

Transmitter ProgrammingImportant: All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all previously programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter. Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Use the scan tool in order to access programming: Vehicle Control System/Computer Integrating System/Module Setup/BCM/Program Key Fobs.
  3. Press the START soft key on the scan tool. Important: The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.
  4. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of 5-10 seconds, the scan tool will indicate that the transmitter is programmed.
  5. Repeat the previous step in order to program up to 4 transmitters.
  6. Remove the scan tool.
  7. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
Good luck

SOURCE: 2006 buick lacrosse how to replace headlight low

The bright light fitting is the same as the dim so take it apart fist to see how the cover screws off/on and the light comes out. Both the cover and the bulb are removed by a standard twist to the counterclockwise and replaced by a twist to the clockwise. Now to the dim light. You have to release the entire light assembly before you can remove the screw-on cover to reach the light. On the rear edge of the light unit closest to the engine is a white locking tab. Pull that tab up just to the point where it releases…pull too far and it locks again. Next, locate the other locking bracket which is a metal bracket in the center-rear of the light assembly. This bracket is held down by a screw. Remove the screw with a 10mm wrench. Lift the bracket just like you did the white bracket. You should now be able to pull (or pry) the entire light unit forward a little. Depending on the size of your hands this might be enough. If not, then you need to release the plastic bumper assembly to give you a little more space. This is done by removing two expansion locking pins, one that holds the little plastic strip down between the bright and dim lights and one that is located inside a rubber bumper on the engine side of the light unit. To remove these locking pins, pull or pry up the little tab in the center of the pin just like you were pulling a nail by the head. That should give you a little more space.

Program new key fob for Cadillac cts 2003

There are several methods of doing this - but your 2003 requires that you either go to the dealer for them to add a FOB with special equipment (ask if they'll do it for free - can't hurt). If you have time to kill, you can do it yourself with Method 3 as described and found at:

Key Fob Reprogramming General Cadillac Forums

Method 3 - Key Fob Auto Learn


This procedure will first erase all known key fobs. The procedure will then program a single or multiple key fobs. Method 3 is a series of three 10-minute key cycles, for a total of 30 minutes. This procedure requires that you have a replacement key fob and the vehicle mechanical key.

Important: All previously programmed key fobs will be erased upon completion of the 30-minute programming procedure. The order in which the key fobs are programmed will determine its numbering position within the RCDLR memory. The first key fob programmed will be key fob #1, and the second key fob programmed will be key fob #2. The number stamped on the key fob case is for reference only: #2 can be programmed as #1.
Do not place any known good key fobs in the vicinity of the vehicle when programming with Method 3. If the RCDLR recognizes a known good key fob during Method 3 programming, the programming mode will resort to Method 1.


The vehicle must be OFF.
Place the replacement key fob in the console pocket with the buttons facing forward.
Insert the vehicle key in the driver door lock cylinder located in the driver door handle and cycle the key 5 times within 5 seconds.
The DIC will display a message: OFF/ACC TO LEARN.
Press the OFF/ACC portion of the ignition button.
The DIC will display a message: WAIT 10 MINUTES, then it will count down from 10 to 0, one minute at a time.
When the counter reaches 0, DIC will display OFF/ACC TO LEARN.
Repeat steps 5-7 two more times, for a total of 30 minutes.
The DIC will display a message: OFF/ACC TO LEARN.
Press the OFF/ACC portion of the ignition button.
A beep will occur and the DIC will display: READY FOR FOB 1. At this time all previously known key fobs have been erased. When fob 1 is programmed a beep will be heard and the DIC will display a message: READY FOR FOB 2.
Additional key fobs can be programmed by taking fob 1 out of the pocket and inserting fob 2. If desired, up to 4 fobs can be programmed. Once 4 fobs have been learned, the DIC will display a message: MAX FOBS LEARNED, and automatically exit the program mode.
If learning less than 4 key fobs, press the OFF/ACC portion of the ignition button to exit the program mode.
Operate the active portion of each key fob in order to finalize the programming sequence and verify correct system operation.

Good luck!

Remote often fails to unlock the doors on my 2006 Buick Lacrosse. Seems to work better from farther away.

  • I HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE KEY FOB, OR "REMOTE" . UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I OPENED UP THE REMOTE AND FOUND THAT THE THIN, SHINY METAL FRAME ENCLOSING AND CRADLING THE COIN-LIKE BATTERY (CR2025) HAD BEEN SEPARATED FROM THE SOLDER POINTS ON THE SILICON CHIP.

  • I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE CHIP (BUTTONS AND RUBBER COVERING SIDE) THAT THERE WAS DIRT, DEBRIS, AND OTHER GUNK WHICH WILL DEFINITELY SHORT CIRCUIT, CAUSING YOUR REMOTE'S BATTERY TO BE DISCHARGED OR MISFIRE. THIS IS BEST OBSERVED WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE A "STICKY" BUTTON EFFECT ONCE THE "LOCK" BUTTON IS DEPRESSED ONCE, BUT THE CAR FEED BACK SUGGESTS 2 PUSHES OF THE REMOTE WERE DETECTED. ANOTHER EXAMPLE: I COULD HAVE SWORN I PUSHED "UNLOCK" TWICE (UNLOCKING REAR DOORS )ON THE FOB/REMOTE BUT ONCE I GET TO THE CAR, DOOR IS STILL LOCKED! WTF.

SOLUTION:

KEEP KEY FOB / REMOTE CLEAN, REPAIR/REPLACE BROKEN BATTERY +/- CONNECTIONS IN THE REMOTE, REPLACE LITHIUM BATTERY

Key Fobs act strange. Replaced batteries, now one

The Key Fobs for the Buick LaCrosse typically fail after 4 years. Both of mine started off failing to unlock and then completely failing. I purchased 2 new ones on EBAY for $40 and had the dealer program them for $10. To buy new ones at the dealer is very expensive, about $150 apiece.
