remote entry won't reprogram according to manual
After disconnecting the battery, my remote entry stopped working. I tried reprogramming according to the owner's manual, but at the point in the process where the DIC states " FOB TRAINING", you are supposed to press the RESET button, and then the DIC is supposed to state" PRESS LOCK AND UNLK". For some reason, nothing happens after I press the reset button - the DIC just stays "FOB TRAINING". Any one else have this problem and find a solution?
I have a 2001 vert.
Thanks.

I got the same problem after trying to relearn the old remote.

If you've all ready used the remote with the car....just re-sync. It looses it's way with a battery change.Paul

I tried re-syncing, doesn't work.
What's strange is I tried entering the tire training mode, and I can't acces that either....the DIC just stays "TIRE TRAINING", and won't enter the next mode.

Try the full relearn process in your owners manual, the one that vertte is having trouble with... Also check for stored codes

I just looked in the owner's manual, and don't see a fuse for the RFA. I think more explanantion is now necessary....Now for the long story....
I ripped out the whole interior over the winter, applied a layer Fat Mat, Frost King for sound deadening, took out the guage cluster and installed aluminum bezels, ripped out the Blose and installed aftermarket speakers, amp, sub, and head unit, installed heated seats....it turned out really nice, sounds great, and my a** is warm. However, maybe somewhere, somehow, I missed a connector. This picture might explain it:
Anyone know where the RFA connector is?

I know where the receiver is - behind the drivers seat, right around the gas filler. How it cables to the 'puter though....

Do you have a second key fob?
I got 2 with my '00. My #1 fob hasn't worked since I unpacked the car from hybernation last week...I did the relearn on the 2nd fob and it worked.
How do ya take a fob appart? just pry it open?

remote problem
Your problem sounds identical to the one I had yesturday. I tried EVERYTHING!!! I was ready to throw in the towel before trying one last thing out of desperation! I undid the negative terminal on the battery, waited two minutes, reconnected the cable, and tried to re-program the remote. To my surprised it worked!!! GO FIGURE?????????? Anyways, it has been performing flawlessly since....
Good luck,

...HUD went in...dash went back in...more miles of smiles. I had removed the Delco battery and stuck it into my winter beater. I bought an Optima red top, put it in and fired up the car a week or so ago...everything was fine except the key fob would not relearn. I'm using the spare fob.
