Remote FOB Problem with my 1998 Chevy Venture
Mileage = 200,000+
Engine size = 3.4
GM tech = JK
question = Need to program a keyless remote.  This is the second one I
have had.  It had worked and then stopped.  Bought a new one and followed
program instructions like before but nothing happened. All locks will open
with key in the door, but locks don't open with inside switches or remote. Any
suggestions?
This does not sound like a remote problem.
The locks are controlled by the Door lock reciever.
Sounds like you either have a problem in some wiring splices, or maybe
one of the door lock switches, or even both.
