would this be the fod or RKE module?

[Prospeeder]

Ok, im wondering if my fobs are bad or if my KRE module is bad, i press the button, nothing happends, i press it like 10 or so times and it works, and then they work fine, but after about 5-10 minutes of no use, they dont work and i have to pres the button on the fob 10 times be4 it works, thanks, i searched but couldnt really find what i was looking for also the batterys are brand new in the fob

[supreme_style21]

Just sounds like bad batteries in the FOB.

[Prospeeder]

the batterys are brand new, i just bought them, and the contacts in the fod are clean

[supreme_style21]

Uh well under the process of elimination, the RKE module is then going bad.

[Prospeeder]

ack, damn things, that sucks big time, ill soder it i guess if i can get the fucking plug out, i dont wanna break it, but it wont budge

Sometimes there's a little blue tab that holds the plug in place. You might have to remove that first.

[Prospeeder]

ohh is that what those were, alright, lol, thanks

[Robby1870]

yeah, GM loves those stupid tab things. I never put them back in hardly. Did you test the RKE by grounding the wire in the trunk?

[GP1138]

I never put them back in either. Well, when I did the DIC and HUD on my new car I did.

[Prospeeder]

no, i havent gounded it, how do i? i know where the cord/plug thingy is, but where do i ground it and how

you simply strip some paint off the metal anywhere on the rear deck to get a good ground then put a screw in the metal and you have a ground

No. You take like an alligator clip and ground the wire temporarily. The locks should cycle if the module is in good shape.

Yeep! On my bonne, you ground pins on the ALDL connector.. :?
