Default keyless remote problem

The unlock button recently stopped working on my remote. The lock and horn blow buttons still work however. I just replaced the 4 year old battery thinking this would solve the problem. Problem is still the same after the battery swap. Is this a programming issue or is it time to replace the remote?

Replace it, the button is probably worn out. I have a silverado I drive for work and one of the remotes is the same way, while the other one works just fine.

Replace the remote. I had a similar problem with my "lock" button.

try your other remote first. if that doesnt work, its the door control module.

Unfortunately, I bought the vehicle used and was only given 1 remote. I agree that there is a possibilty the module could be bad though.

You can disassemble it, clean the button contacts then reprogram the FOB/car again. But you will probably end up replacing it in the long run anyway.
