remote will not resync?? help
I have a 98 c5 replaced the battery on my remote and tried to resync it using the dic when I get the the un+lock button hold down together on the fob screen it wont do anything. I got to do something because it makes me nervous not having a alarm on my car and annoying having to use the key everytime. passive not working either. the remote does have a little rattle in it I took it apart to see if anything is loose but didnt see anything.

Interesting...I have the same problem. But replacing the battery and resyncing it worked...although whenever the fob is near the car, the horn honks once every 15 seconds or so. Kinda annoying.
I'm not sure how to fix it either...

You should try sliding the passive switch on and off several times. Pocket dust seems to get in there or whatever, causes it to turn the passive function on.

That little rattle is normal,at least on a fob with the passive feature.
Are you sure you're synching the fob(s) correctly?
KEYFOB PROGRAMMING:
1) Turn ignition on
2) Turn radio off
3) Press Driver Information Center (DIC) RESET button ( 6 )
4) Press OPTIONS button on the DIC until display is blank ( 4 )
5) Press and hold RESET button for 3 seconds ( 6 )
6) Press OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING is displayed ( 4 )
7) Press RESET button to begin programming sequence. ( 6 )
8) Simultaneously press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK ( A & B )
buttons on first remote for 13 seconds until message
appears stating programming is complete. The computer
will ask to program second FOB. If you don't have a second
FOB follow on to step 9.
9) Turn ignition off and remove key for ignition.
10) Test remote or remotes

Is that the original remote for your 98?
If you've tried everything and it still won't work usually buying a new one will solve your problem.
One other thing, make sure your car battery is fully charged. It can affect the remote programming.

I'm working on a 2000 FRC & the DIC won't go into the learn mode... It gets to the Tire Learn & when you press options again to get to Remote it doesn't do anything. I went ahead & even trained the tire monitors to see if it might step forward on its own but didnt. I even pulled the remote box & checked the connectors... all appears fine. I also tried using a tech 2 but that isn't needed until 2001.
