THE PKE module on my 96 CE doesn't automatically lock or open the doors anymore, although it still opens the hatch back. The local Chevy dealer said that the transmitter is inoperative. I tried changing the battery, but it still doesn't work. The dealer said to plan on spending more than $100 for a new pad.
Is there anyway to fix these things or does anyone know where i can get a good deal on a new one?
Seems like that is common for PKE's :confused: , as mine did the same thing....first the proximity function went away, then i was unable to unlock the doors, and finally, last week, i am now unable to open the hatch w/the fob.

Okay, just checking. You stated that it doesn't automatically work anymore, but the hatch button works. Does it open the passenger door manually? Is it possible that you've just disabled the PASSIVE operation? When you get in and turn the key, look in the lower left corner of your DIC and see if the PASSIVE KEYLESS ACTIVE light is on. If not, remove the key, hold down the door lock button on the remote till the locks cycle. Then check the light with the key again.
