C5 keyless entry problems
2000 corvette keyless problem:
I walk up to my car every morning afternoon etc..
The keyless doesnt work...
- i have reprogrammed the keyless fob many times
- replaced the battery with a new battery
the only thing that works is when i hold the unlock and lock button for the 7 second period it honks and i can open the doors... But, I've had to do this every morning and every afternoon etc...
It works for a little while but if i wait around 30 minutes or so then it forgets the keyless or something...
Help! =(

Same thing happened to my 2000 and I took it to the dealer, they checked everything including the receiver in the car. I needed a new fob. I replaced it and haven't had problems with it since.

Earlier this year I had similar problems. Ended up replacing the key fob and all has worked well since.

I just bought a new FOB. Had the car tuned after headers, etc. install. FOB didn't work! Lock and unlock 7 seconds and car unlocked but the next time no. Repeated 7 sec and reached in through open window and unlocked it by door button with key in and no more problems. Someone should write a book about ths kinda stuff! Oops, they did, Corvette Forum.com!

This happened to mine, fob would work for one day then nothing. I then went to the owners manual and followed the procedure for a new fob (using the old fob) and it has been fine ever since. Try it out, much cheaper than a new fob.

The circuit board inside the remote probably has a broken or cold solder joint. On mine, I have seen it on the chip itself and other components close to the edge of the circuit board. Reflowing the solder joints worked for me.
