Default 96 Corvette C4 (p)

Hi,
I purchased this car recently, and found that the doors 'sometimes' lock automatically when I walk away from the car, and sometimes don't. The Ignition key seems to have a 'chip' installed on it, and I believe that 'should talk' to the locking mechanism?? I think.
Also, I have 2 'clickers' which came with the car...one clicker 'did work' the other didn't. However, now the one that 'worked' isn't.

Is there a 'fix' for this problem?

There is a feature (read your manual) regarding the auto-lock.
It has proximity sensors in relations to your key fobs.

There is a process to enable/disable that feature.


Edit: Its called the PASSKEY
Found in the owner's manual - begins on page 48.

Sent you a PM asking you to check something on your 96MY if you can and also included I believe the correct procedure for programming the FOB. Make sure you've got good batteries for them.
