Default key fob problem ?

I disconnected my battery for the winter (pos terminal) reconnected today and car started right up ! but the remote key fob does not communicate to open the doors or trunk ? put new battery's in both key fobs and still not working ? do i need to get them reprogrammed ? how can i prevent this every year after winter storage ?

I think each time you disconnect the battery and leave the car sit a long time the FOB's loose synch with the car. You are going to need to reprogramm them using the DIC...there was a thread on this a few days ago..the instructions are in your owners manul..you need to find FOB training under the options menu.

I can't get the search function to work now or I'd find that thread for ya.

Try re-synching.
Stand by the driver's door and hold lock and unlock til the horn beeps...10-15 seconds. Should be ok.

tried both fobs with the lock+ unlock method, one worked the other did'nt. I'll look at the owners manual to see if there is another procedure to try.

The owners manual will explain how you "Train" the fobs through the DIC. Just did this myself. Simple to do....
