Depending upon what year Corvette you have, pre 2000 models have a "passive" lock and unlock feature controlled by a slide switch at the bottom of the remote keypad. If this is set to on, the car will unlock when the fob gets within range and or lock when fobs leaves the range.

No, they did away with the passive feature after the '99 year. My '00 does not have it. Could be they have the wrong fobs.

I knew nothing about this option at first.
I parked my car at the side of the house and had the keys in my pocket while I was in side.
I couldn’t understand why the car kept beeping the horn.
The answer was every time I came close to the car while still inside the house the fob would unlock the door, and relock with a toot because the door was not opened.
