We purchased our 2000 Grand Prix SE this past weekend. The previous owners had 2 key fobs that they gave us. However, after replacing the batteries and trying all the "tricks" I could find online to program the things, I finally took it to a dealer yesterday.
The dealer hooked it up on the Tech 2 and said that the computer is not recognizing the keyless entry. They ran the vin and everything and the car does have a keyless entry system and even an alarm system, but it is just not recognizing that one is there.
I had them check both remotes. One is a GM ceritified remote and the other they think must be an after-market remote. They both tested good and transmitting on their system. However, they could not get it to program. They said I could make an appointment and come in and they will try to find out the wiring issue. The cost would start at $65 and go up from there.
I was wondering if any of you have had a similar problem or have an answer for me. One more thing to ad...Occasionally when I look at the radio, the numbers are rolling digital segments (not full numbers) and sort of flashing. Usually when I turn the car off, it corrects itself.
any help?
