Help Keyless entry problems
My remote keyless entry doesn't work all the time. I've got a 2000 Vert. Did the matching transmitter, resynchronized, replaced battery. Still only works off and on. Never know when its going to work. Anyone had this problem?

Re: Help Keyless entry problems (damenke)
Did you just get the car, or have you had it a while and this problem just started after a few years of ownership??
Do you have another key fob to operate for a while to see if its the transmitter or the receiver problem??
I had a 2000 Coupe, and you had to be within 5 feet of the driver's door, or it wouldn't work. So, are you trying to use the system at a distance beyond 5 feet or from the passenger side??

Try taking the battery out of the opener and clean the contacts with the eraser on a lead pencil.The contacts may be dirty.Worth a try.My door opener had to be replaced.(1) worked perfectly,the other took a dump.They aren't cheap,mine ran $105 at the agency. :chevy :chevy :flag :chevy :chevy
