Problems with Keyless Entry Remote Transmitter
Ok I just bought this 98' Coupe. Went thru the manual did everything it said. Everything works fine lock, unlock, trunk. I'll lock it and walk away for a few minutes come back and it doesn't work anymore. Can't figure it out. I think the car had a alarm put in at one time, but is now takin out. Am I just not programming correctly or could it be something else. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

See my response in the thread below. This is what I did when mine were acting that way. They both now work like new....

This must be the 4th or 5th post about Fobs in the past 2 weeks. GM must've coded the chips to die. Mine flaked out last week, so I replaced the battery...no go. I examined the board and it made at rattleing sound, so they coded mine to self destruct.

"Did you bend the battery clips to keep a tighter contact on the battery?
I think that is a key issue here. Pardon the Pun."
Yeah I tried. I actually use to have a Pager store and did the samething with them. Maybe some rubbing alcohol and cube tip to clean everything.
Now from my undertanding I thought the rattling noise was for the battery saver for the passive mode.

I have had the same problem with mine. doesnt work at all now and when it did work it had to be within about 2 feet of drivers door. I have tried all of the above with no luck. i guess ill just have to get a new one too.
