Default Passive Keyless Entry

I noticed the last couple times I started my Vette that the Passive Keyless Entry light comes on and stays on. Any ideas what is causing this , and how to fix it ?

Are you talking about on the DIC?

Also, is your PKE working correctly... any symptoms?

edit: if it's the PKE light on the DIC that's staying on, all I did when it happened to me was remove and reinsert the 5 amp fuse for the PKE.

I don't have a fob, never have, so I don't know if my pke works or not but at times the light comes on the DIC and stays on. To get rid of the light, I have to turn the ignition off, pull the key out, then re-insert the key and then pull it out again. The light goes off.

Yellowlust- I read the FAQ and have the exact problem

4. I've also seen several posts when the transmitter would operate the passenger's door and rear hatch but not unlock the driver's door. When this happens the PKE is turned off. You can check this by turning on the Ignition and checking to see if Passive Keyless lights up on the DIC. The owner's manual says that all you have to do is hold the door button until the locks cycle to turn it On. I've noticed that it doesn't always work. I think it works better to have the doors closed. Can anyone confirm this?


I've tried this but my driver door still doesn't respond?? Can you break this down for me on the doors shut and the lock cycling, maybe I doing something wrong. Thanks Chad
