Please be forewarned, that so far my local Chevrolet dealer has tried to program two new 1998 era (GM) fobs for me, but in each case, they've discovered (at my suggestion) that all of their NOS fobs in stock, as well as the ones recently ordered from GM, all have dead batteries.
I suggest programming the new fob while still in your dealer's parking lot...just to make sure that you in fact received one with a good battery. Evidently, these batteries are not that easy to come by, as they had to order one, because no other GM dealership in the area had one either.
You can get the batteries at any Radio Shack or similar store.
They are pretty common, but always test them before you leave. I recently had two DOA ones in a row right out of the plastic bubble packs

Well, my dealer finally just gave me two Energizer #2450 batteries which they received from their supplier late yesterday. Since I already figured-out how to program my original fob since their tech somehow deactivated it, I went ahead and also programmed the new one myself...saving me the fifty bucks the dealer wanted to charge me. BTW, thanks for the Radio Shack tip jrprich.
