Default Key Fob Question ?

I started my 1998 today after winter storage and my key fobs don't work. The batteries are good , and the car was on a battery tender while in storage. Any sugestions as to what my problem is.

Try pushing and holding the lock and unlock buttons for like 10 seconds. This will resysnc them to the car or run through the memory procedure for them formally.

If the resync doesn't work you can re-program the fobs. Instructions are in the owner's manual.

And if you don't have a manual, you can download one from www.gmpartshouse.com.
