Default Key Fob Malfunction

Where is the best resource to understand how the key fob is supposed to work? Mine has been acting screwy and I have already replaced batteries (and it is still giving me heartburn)!

I had problems in my C6 when I went to the car wash... something with the building screwed with the FOB's or sensors in the car. Away from there, it worked fine.

I have seen where a weak car battery caused FOB problems. Sometimes, removing a battery cable for a few minutes (or overnight) after charging it up does the trick.

Good luck.

Here's a Dealer Bulletin from GM on the topic.

Hopefully it will answer your questions.
