my boss has a 2000 tahoe the remotes just stopped working one then both. the truck was purchased brand new at glen campbell so i called them friday and they said $80 for each remote and $25 each to program them. it sounds like alot. but to top it off the keys dont work in the doors only the lift gate and ignition. the dealer claims the key should work in all the doors but sense the warrenty is up they cant do anything. the door lock cylinders are the original along with the keys. and advice would be great!

My 08 HHR is doing the same thing. I thought one remote was bad but I tried the other one and it doesn’t work either. I think my keyless entry system is busted.

Check your fuses and see if there is one for the system anywhere.

I had an issue with my Yukon and the keys not working in the doors, the cylinders were corroded and wouldn’t work. Also the keyless might be the driver side lock panel, I had that happen once as well

dont spend that much. take it to rainbow or another stereo shop and opt for a keyless entry system and or combo unit with Remote start. 185 dollars will more than cover the keyless system and maybe even the combo unit

i was thinking about that but it has a weird security system u have to turn the key forward once then it beeps 3 times then u can start it according to glen campbell it was a special security system u think an aftermarket system could still work. most autoplaces and dealers can never start the truck.
