PKE issue
Hi vette lovers, having an issue with the pke on my 93 ruby ragtop. The system worked fine before i parked the car for a couple of months, when i returned to fire it up the battety was low requiring a jump. Since then the pke has been inoperable. I followed the programming instructions and all that happened when i was finished is the doors locked. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks

pke issue
Thanks Mark here's what happened
I went on vacation for a couple of months and left the car in my garage I didn't bother disconnecting the battery because two months is no big deal usually. Anyway when I got home the battery was low it wasn't dead but it didn't crank the car over very fast so I jump-started it. I noticed that my pke system was inoperative so I went to the manual and followed the instructions on how to reprogram the car to the park or vice versa. After following the instructions I approached the car with the fob in my hand and nothing happened so I turned and walked away and the minute I got out of range the doors locked so I assumed I was all set but again I approached the vehicle and nothing happened.
and yes I did replace the battery in the key fob. It just seems strange that you wouldn't use your car for a couple of months and your pke would cease to operate. thanks for getting back to me and if that helps you give me a shout back I don't have my car here I'm having some work done on it so I really can't go through the procedure at this moment
