time to get a new one. wheni bought my vette (97) the remotes worked fine for about 1 month. then they did the same thing you are describing. i replaced the batteries, and even tried to have them reprogrammed at chevy. no hope.
to this day i have been using my key to open the doors, over a year now.
gmpartsdirect.com is the cheapest place i have found the remotes so far. i belive they are about $85 shipped. thats cheaper than my employee discount through gm dealership.

I can tap mine in my hand and it will go back working, My new ones and the old ones are the same, work for a month then just quits, but the tap makes it go back working every time. Proably loose contacts with the battery

Hi mph1972 -
What kind of transmitter do you have, the passive kind or the non-passive kind?
On of the fobs on our 99 with the passive type transmitter had problems just like yours because a part (motion detector switch) got knocked off of the circuit board.....
