Default Remote Keyless Entry

The key abruptly stopped working and the battery is new. Any hints to get it working?

Try paring it again.

There are paring instructions in the owners manual. I don't have it handy but I remember it's not to complicated. Requires one of the paired remotes. And you insert the non working one into the console.

If you have the Onstar app on your phone, you can unlock and remote start....maybe then you can get it working by inserting into the wheel neck.

Okay - I "relearned" both keys per the owners manual as recommended and still no wireless communication with the car by either key. Does anyone know what fuse to check? - it is a 2016 C7 Z06.Thanks

I don't have my manual handy so I can't check.

Cars in the shop through next week.

Shift into drive and back to park to make sure the sensor sees the car is in park.

The car is a 7 spd manual 2016 Z06 coupe. The issue, I believe, is the car doesn't receive the key's wireless signal and I am wondering if it is the fuse. The owners manual doesn't specify the controlling fuse. Does anyone know which fuse I should check?

It will be tied to one of the body control modules and there are 7 of them. Look in your owners manual on the fuse diagrams and start checking all the BCM fuses. Also give it a battery nap for 10 mins and see if that corrects the issue. If not you need to have the dealer deal with it.

Key receiver located aft of left rear wheel behind interior panel; fault was a loose wire connection.
